No, that is not true. You have quoted the wrong message, that
discussion was about WALWriteLock contention not about the patch being
discussed in this thread. I have posted the latest set of patches
here [1]. Tomas is supposed to share the results of his tests. He
mentioned to me in PGConf Asia last week that he ran few tests on
Power Box, so let us wait for him to share his findings.
