Hi hackers,
Inspired by Andre's works, I put efforts to try to improve GetSnapShotData().
I think that I got something.
As is well known GetSnapShotData() is a critical function for Postgres performance, already demonstrated in other benchmarks.
So any gain, no matter how small, makes a difference.
So far, no regression has been observed.

I was surprised that in my tests, with connections greater than 100,
the tps performance drops, even in the head.
I don't have access to a powerful machine, to really test with a high workload.
But with connections below 100, It seems to me that there are obvious gains.
patch attached.

Ranier Vilela
