I haven't had time to performance test this patch yet, and it looks like
it will take a significant amount of effort to do so. I'm focusing on my
other work, so I don't know if this one is going to be in shape for the
September commitfest.
If someone is interested in doing some performance testing for this
patch, let me know. I still think it has potential.
Under what kind of circumstances/workload to you think this patch is most likely to show its full potential? I can try to test it out, but would like some guidance. I am guessing it is when the anti-wrap around vacuums come due, but that is such a rare event, it could both be hard to test for and also be of limited real-world applicability.
Cheers,
