I don't think that's a fair test for the performance downsides. For pgbench with modifications the full commit is such
alarge portion of the time that you'd need to make things a lot slower to show a large slowdown. And for ro pgbench the
subxactsdon't matter that much. It'd probably be more meaningful to have a mixed workload of 15 ro statements per xact
inone type of session, and 5rw /10ro in another.
