[James Pang]

same OS RHEL8, install pgv14.11 and pgv18.beta1_3, both installation by RPM
from pgdg, and use similar postgresql.conf.

14.11
postgres=# create table tt(a int primary key, b text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# do
postgres-# $$
postgres$# begin
postgres$#    for counter in 1..1000000 loop
postgres$# insert into tt values(counter,'jamestest');
postgres$#    end loop;
postgres$# end;
postgres$# $$;
DO
