Simon,
So we can optimize away the scan through the procarray by doing two "if" tests, one outside of the lock, one inside. In normal running, both will be optimized away, though in read-only periods we would avoid much work.
How much work would it be to work up a test patch? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
