pgbench tries to avoid any seqscans at all, I believe, so it wouldn't be
very useful for testing a method that's mainly intended to prevent
seqscans from blowing out the cache.
I tried to implement LRU-2 awhile ago, and got discouraged when I
couldn't see any performance improvement. But I was using pgbench as
the test case, and failed to think about its lack of seqscans.
We could probably resurrect that code for comparison to 2Q, if anyone
can devise more interesting benchmark cases to test.
BTW, when you were running your test case, what shared_buffers did you
use?
