The same what?

The discussion was about a particular test in a particular setting for a 
particular load, the fact that reducing the latency has a limited effect 
in that case is a fact in life. I have produced other settings where the 
effect was very important. The patch has no down side AFAICS.

Given the thread discussions, I do not understand why this "ready for 
committer" patch is switched to "return with feedback", as there is 
nothing actionnable, and I've done everything required to improve the 
syntax and implementation, and to justify why these functions are useful.

I'm spending time to try to make something useful of pgbench, which 
require a bunch of patches that work together to improve it for new use 
case, including not being limited to the current set of operators.

This decision is both illogical and arbitrary.
