What point do you want to see in this test? I think the performance
overhead depends on how many times we do bsearch() and how many
transactions are in the list. I increased this value to easily
simulate the situation where we decode many commit records while
keeping catalog modifying transactions. But even if we don't change
this value, the result would not change if we don't change how many
commit records we decode.

I've done the same performance tests while creating 64 catalog
modifying transactions. The result is:
HEAD: 595 ms
Patched: 628 ms
There was no big overhead.
