Nice progress! I briefly tried this out. The overall resource usage of the test is noticeably reduced - and that's on linux with fast fork, so it should be considerably better on windows. However, the tests take a lot longer than before, I think mostly due to polling for results rather than waiting for them to be ready using PQsocketPoll() or such. E.g. bloom/001_wal takes about 15s on HEAD for me, but 138s with the patch. I think that's just due to the various usleep(100_000); FWIW, oauth_validator/001_server fails with the patch at the moment. Greetings, Andres Freund
