Bruce,
Thanks for your comments, and let me answer to your question.
Sigres is *not* significantly faster than just creating a file system on
the permanent memory and putting xlog on there.
Sigres is slightly faster than the case because each backend does not
call XLogWrite while bgWriter does.

Indeed, I'm wondering why one needs to hack the Postgres core to throw
away data integrity guarantees; there are plenty of ways to do that
already :-(. Hideyuki-san has not explained exactly what integrity
assumptions he wants to make or not make. I'm surely willing to listen
to supporting a different set of assumptions than we currently use, but
I'd like to see a clear explanation of what assumptions are being made
and why they represent a useful case.
I am unsure why Sigres is significantly faster than just creating a file
system on the permanent memory and putting xlog on there.
