BEAUTIFUL!!!
Using the Patch I can now go upto 1300 users without dropping.. But now
it still repeats at 1300-1350 users..
I corrected the Lock Descriptions based on what I got from lwlock.h and
retried the whole scalability again with profiling again.. This time it
looks like the ProcArrayLock

LockID for ProcArrayLock is 4 or the 5 entry in lwlock.h which seems to
indicate it is lwlock.h
Any tweaks for that?
