That's a very huge change in latency for the worse

Are you sure that's the ring buffer's doing and not some methodology snafu?

Well, I tuned postgresql.conf so that there is no such
catastrophic slows down on master branch. (with default
settings such slowdown happens quite frequently).
bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 10 (instead of default 200) were one
of such tuning.

Probably there were some magic "border" that triggers this
behavior. Tuning postgresql.conf shifted master branch on
"good side" of this border, and faster autovacuum crossed it
to "bad side" again.

Probably, backend_flush_after = 2MB (instead of default 0) is
also part of this border. I didn't try to bench without this
option yet.

Any way, given checkpoint and autovacuum interference could be
such noticeable, checkpoint clearly should affect autovacuum
cost mechanism, imho.

I'll run two times with default postgresql.conf (except
shared_buffers and maintence_work_mem) to find out behavior on
default setting.

Then I'll try to investigate checkpoint co-operation with
autovacuum to fix behavior with "tuned" postgresql.conf.
