Hmm. I'm not that excited about these results, for a couple of reasons:
* AFAICS, all the numbers are collected from the first execution of a
query within a session, meaning caches aren't populated and everything
has to be loaded from disk (or at least shared buffers).
* I do not credit hundreds of completely redundant FKs between the same
two tables as being representative of plausible real-world cases.
I modified your new script as attached to get rid of the first problem.
Comparing HEAD with HEAD minus commit 100340e2d, in non-assert builds,
I get results like this for the 100-foreign-key case (with repeat
count 1000 for the data collection script):
select code, test, avg(time),stddev(time) from data group by 1,2 order by 1,2;
code | test | avg | stddev
--------+-------+--------------------+---------------------
head | t1/t2 | 0.065045045045045 | 0.00312962651081508
head | t3/t4 | 0.168561561561562 | 0.00379087132124092
head | t5/t6 | 0.127671671671672 | 0.00326275949269809
head | t7/t8 | 0.391057057057056 | 0.00590249325300915
revert | t1/t2 | 0.0613933933933937 | 0.0032082678131875
revert | t3/t4 | 0.0737507507507501 | 0.00221692725859567
revert | t5/t6 | 0.123759759759759 | 0.00431225386651805
revert | t7/t8 | 0.154082082082081 | 0.00405118420422266
(8 rows)
So for the somewhat-credible cases, ie 100 unrelated foreign keys,
I get about 3% - 6% slowdown. The 100-duplicate-foreign-keys case
does indeed look like about a 2X slowdown, but as I said, I do not
think that has anything to do with interesting usage.
In any case, the situation I was worried about making better was
queries joining many tables, which none of this exercises at all.
