This patch (revisited and ported to current CVS HEAD) is indeed using Greg's original patch and also added another patch written by Mark Wong that helps evicting closed XLOGs from memory faster.
Great, that will save me some trouble. I've got a stack of Linux performance testing queued up (got stuck behind a kernel bug impacting pgbench) for the next couple of weeks and I'll include this in that testing. I think I've got a similar class of hardware as you tested on for initial evaluation--I'm getting around 200MB/s sequential I/O right now out of my small RAID setup,.
I added your patch to the queue for next month's CommitFest and listed myself as the initial reviewer, but a commit that soon is unlikely. Performance tests like this usually take a while to converge, and since this is using a less popular API I expect a round of portability concerns, too.
Where did Marc's patch come from? I'd like to be able to separate out that change from the rest if necessary.
Also, if you have any specific test cases you ran that I could start by trying to replicate a speedup on, those would be handy as well.
