Probably not, or at least not easily. Because of the atomic instructions the locking also includes some other costs
(e.g.cache misses, serializing store buffers,...).
There's a good bit we can do to increase the cache efficiency around buffer headers, but it won't get us quite that low
I'dguess.

Without knowing what proportion they have to each and to non-waiting backends that unfortunately doesn't help that
much..
