Hello,
Thank you for trying this approach in v8 David !
I've decided to test on more "stable" hardware, an EC-2 medium instance, compiling with Debian's gcc 8.3. That's still not ideal but a lot better than a laptop.
To gather more meaningful results, I ran every pgbench for 30s instead of the 10 in the initial script provided by David. I ran the full script once for HEAD, v6, v8, then a second time for HEAD, v6, v8 to try to eliminate noise that could happen for 90 consecutive seconds, and took for each of those the median of the 6 runs. It's much less noisy than my previous runs but still not as as stable as I'd like to.
The results are attached in graph form, as well as the raw data if someone wants it.
As a conclusion, I don't think it's worth it to introduce a separate execprocnode function for that case. It is likely the minor difference still observed can be explained to noise, as they fluctuate if you compare the min, max, average or median values from the results.
Is there a special reason to not share v7b tests and results?
