pgsql: Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring backends'
current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared
memory.  This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string
and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times.
Per my recent proposal.
