Maybe a clarification and example would be useful. We're talking
about going through a billion transactions which were assigned a
TransactionId, not all database transactions. An example of how you
could hit that is with a sustained commit rate of 5000 transactions
per second which are modifying data while a single read write
transaction stays open for 2.3 days.
