Write not *Read* mostly.

Yes 80/20 read/write mix will be good test to test this patch and I think such a load is used by many applications (Such a load is quite common in telecom especially their billing related applications) and currently we don't have such a test handy to measure performance.
On a side note, I think it would be good if we can add such a test to pgbench or may be use some test which adheres to TPC-C specification. Infact, I remember [1] people posting test results with such a workload showing ProcArrayLock as contention.
