The results above are not really fair, pgbouncer.ini was a bit different on 
Ubuntu host (application_name_add_host was disabled). Here are the right 
results with exactly the same configuration:

OS                      PostgreSQL version      TPS                     Avg. 
latency
RHEL 6          9.4                                     44898           1.425 ms
RHEL 6          9.5                                     26199           2.443 ms
RHEL 6          9.5                                     43027           1.487 ms
Ubuntu 14.04    9.4                                     45971           1.392 ms
Ubuntu 14.04    9.5                                     40282           1.589 ms

It can be seen that there is a regression for 9.5 in Ubuntu also, but not so 
significant. We first thought that the reason is 
38628db8d8caff21eb6cf8d775c0b2d04cf07b9b (Add memory barriers for 
PgBackendStatus.st_changecount protocol), but in that case the regression 
should also be seen in 9.6 also.

There also was a bunch of changes in FE/BE communication (like 
387da18874afa17156ee3af63766f17efb53c4b9 or 
98a64d0bd713cb89e61bef6432befc4b7b5da59e) and that may answer the question of 
regression in 9.5 and normal results in 9.6. Probably the right way to find the 
answer is to do bisect. I’ll do it but if some more diagnostics information can 
help, feel free to ask about it.
