Thank you very much for testing!
Results looks strange for me. I wonder why there is difference between
lwlock-power-1.patch and lwlock-power-3.patch? From my intuition, it
shouldn't be there because it's not much difference between them. Thus, I
have following questions.
1. Have you warm up database? I.e. could you do "SELECT sum(x.x) FROM
(SELECT pg_prewarm(oid) AS x FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('i', 'r')
ORDER BY oid) x;" before each run?
2. Also could you run each test longer: 3-5 mins, and run them with
variety of clients count?
