Yes, there should be because 1) Now there is no common lock so
contention on a centralized control lock will be reduced when we are
accessing the transaction status from pages falling in different SLRU
banks 2) Buffers size is configurable so if the workload is accessing
transactions status of different range then it would help in frequent
buffer eviction but this might not be most common case.
