Sounds the same to me, so leaving it as it is.

Both done, thanks.
In the attached updated patch, I've also lowered the threshold number
of tuples to wait before re-enabling caching from 1000 down to 10.
AFAICT, it only makes things better for the cases in which the
proposed caching is supposed to help, while not affecting the cases in
which caching might actually make things worse.
I've repeated the benchmark mentioned in [1]:
-- creates a range-partitioned table with 1000 partitions
create unlogged table foo (a int) partition by range (a);
select 'create unlogged table foo_' || i || ' partition of foo for
values from (' || (i-1)*100000+1 || ') to (' || i*100000+1 || ');'
from generate_series(1, 1000) i;
\gexec
-- generates a 100 million record file
copy (select generate_series(1, 100000000)) to '/tmp/100m.csv' csv;
HEAD:
postgres=# copy foo from '/tmp/100m.csv' csv; truncate foo;
COPY 100000000
Time: 39445.421 ms (00:39.445)
TRUNCATE TABLE
Time: 381.570 ms
postgres=# copy foo from '/tmp/100m.csv' csv; truncate foo;
COPY 100000000
Time: 38779.235 ms (00:38.779)
Patched:
postgres=# copy foo from '/tmp/100m.csv' csv; truncate foo;
COPY 100000000
Time: 33136.202 ms (00:33.136)
TRUNCATE TABLE
Time: 394.939 ms
postgres=# copy foo from '/tmp/100m.csv' csv; truncate foo;
COPY 100000000
Time: 33914.856 ms (00:33.915)
TRUNCATE TABLE
Time: 407.451 ms
So roughly, 38 seconds with HEAD vs. 33 seconds with the patch applied.
(Curiously, the numbers with both HEAD and patched look worse this
time around, because they were 31 seconds with HEAD vs. 26 seconds
with patched back in May 2021. Unless that's measurement noise, maybe
something to look into.)
