I did some performance tests on the patch. This patch shown good
improvement for same column aggregates. With int or bigint datatype columns,
this patch doesn't show any visible performance difference. But with numeric
datatype it shows good improvement.
select sum(x), avg(y) from test where x < $1;
Different columns:
selectivity Head patch
(millions)
0.1 315 322
0.3 367 376
0.5 419 427
1 551 558
2 824 826
select sum(x), avg(x) from test where x < $1;
Same column:
selectivity Head patch
(millions)
0.1 314 314
0.3 363 343
0.5 412 373
1 536 440
2 795 586
