Actually I am probably going to withdraw this patch soon. The idea is
a plausible way of improving things. But at the same time I cannot
really demonstrate any benefit on hardware that I have access to.
This patch was something I worked on based on a private complaint from
Andres (who is CC'd here now) during an informal conversation at pgDay
SF. If Andres is now in a position to test the patch and can show a
benefit on certain hardware, I may well pick it back up. But as things
stand the evidence in support of the patch is pretty weak. I'm not
going to commit a patch like this unless and until it's crystal clear
what the benefits are.
if Andres cannot spend any time on this in the foreseeable future then
I'll withdraw the patch. I intend to formally withdraw the patch on
November 9th, provided no new information comes to light.
Thanks
