Hi~
I did some performance test these days, and I have some findings.
From the archive months ago, I found there were discussions about which type
of TupleTableSlot to use for buffering tuples. A single column mat view was
used for evaluation. Finally we used virtual one.
However when I test with a 32-columns mat view, I get regression.
Test case:
-- prepare
create table test as
select
i as id0,
i + 1 as id1,
i + 2 as id2,
i + 3 as id3,
i + 4 as id4,
i + 5 as id5,
i + 6 as id6,
i + 7 as id7,
i + 8 as id8,
i + 9 as id9,
i + 10 as id10,
i + 11 as id11,
i + 12 as id12,
i + 13 as id13,
i + 14 as id14,
i + 15 as id15,
i + 0.01 as f0,
i + 0.1 as f1,
i + 0.2 as f2,
i + 0.3 as f3,
i + 0.4 as f4,
i + 0.5 as f5,
i + 0.6 as f6,
i + 0.7 as f7,
i + 0.8 as f8,
i + 0.9 as f9,
i + 1.01 as f10,
i + 1.1 as f11,
i + 1.2 as f12,
i + 1.3 as f13,
i + 1.4 as f14,
i + 1.5 as f15,
i + 1.6 as f16
from generate_series(1,5000000) i;
-- run
create materialized view m1 as select * from test;

I did a quick perf, the overhead seems to come from virtual tuple materialization.

Not sure if it is a universal situation.
