Shameless plug: maybe the LISTEN/NOTIFY optimization could be added?
The work to fix the problem was triggered when I saw the
"Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale"
article posted on Hacker News front-page [1] [2].
If of interest, maybe plug in this sentence
"better LISTEN/NOTIFY scalability for multi-channel workloads"
at the end of the ### Performance paragraph that begins with:
"PostgreSQL 19 shows up"?
