One idea would be to build a hashtable to aid with duplicate detection (perhaps only once the pending-notify list gets long). Another thought is that it's already the case that duplicate detection is something of a "best effort" activity; note for example the comment in AsyncExistsPendingNotify pointing out that we don't collapse duplicates across subtransactions. Would it be acceptable to relax the standards a bit further? For example, if we only checked for duplicates among the last N notification list entries (for N say around 100), we'd probably cover just about all the useful cases, and the runtime would stay linear. The data structure isn't tremendously conducive to that, but it could be done. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
