Thanks for this, I read too quickly!
I've attached the 2 perf reports. From the 2nd one, I can see lots of
time waiting for TOAST table locks on the geometry column, but I
definitely don't fully understand the implications or why LockManager
would be struggling here.
Thanks for the continued help!

My earlier mail included a section about running a perf profile showing
the callers of the futex() system call, which in turn is what lwlocks end
up using on linux when the lock is contended.
