Or possibly an XLogInsertDeferred() which just queues up some work so the next time we call XLogInsert() it will insert the deferred work as well as the main work all in one lock cycle. It would only be usable for low priority info like FSM stuff that isn't needed for recovery. Maybe we could do that with hints also. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
