I saw some similar results comparing 9.0 and 9.2 pgbench tests. My tests were on a VM, but on a dedicate host/hardware
withno other VM's running on it to minimize variables. I didn't have a lot of time to dig into it, but I do recall
seeingmore lock contention on updates on the 9.2 instance though.
