How so? Before the patch we bog down for hours, spending 99% of our time in  
TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId, after the patch everything performs well 
(really better than before) and we spend so little time in 
TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId it barely shows up on the radar. 

Note I'm open to the idea that TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId itself is 
not the problem, but that something else changed between 8.1 and 8.3 that 
exposes TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId as a problem.  Changing to a 
binary search for TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId  makes that a non-issue 
though.
