Thanks for the comment!

I measured how long it takes to replay DROP DATABASE with 1000 tablespaces,
in master and patched version. shared_buffers was set to 16GB.

[master]
It took 8 seconds to replay DROP DATABASE with 1000 tablespaces,
as follows. In this case, 16GB shared_buffers was fully scanned 1000 times.

    2019-10-02 16:50:22 JST LOG:  redo done at 0/300A298

[patched]
It took less than 1 second to replay DROP DATABASE with 1000 tablespaces,
as follows. In this case, 16GB shared_buffers was scanned only one time.
