I already modified MAX_SIMUL_LWLOCKS to make sure it is enough.

Total RAM is 130G, and I set shared_buffers 16G, CPU and IO is not full. 50% 
CPUs are idle. So I think maybe pg is blocked by some place in itself.

I think you can expect some increase mainly if your test is
read only and you have sufficient RAM such that it can contain
all the data, for other cases there can be I/O due to which you
might not see any increase.

Increasing these numbers might lead to error
"too many LWLocks taken", unless you increase
MAX_SIMUL_LWLOCKS.  Once you can check the server
log if it contains any errors, that might lead to decrease in
performance.

Also another side effect would be that increasing above numbers
will lead to increase in shared memory usage.
