After reading this email, the linked-to email, and the commit message for the patch, I still don't have a clear understanding of what this is intended to fix. It seems like it's going to make the responsiveness worse. In general, we want to replace escalating wait loops with things that wake up instantly at the right time, and this is going in the opposite direction. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
