Both BeginInternalSubTransaction and DefineSavepoint use
PushTransaction() internally for a normal subtransaction start. So
they seems to be identical from the performance perspective, which is
also stated in the comment section:
Yes, definitely them are using the same mechanism and most likely
provides similar performance.
But BeginInternalSubTransaction does not require to generate some
savepoint name which seems to be redundant in this case.
Anyway, I've performed a profiling of my apply worker (flamegraph is
attached) and it spends the vast amount of time (>90%) applying
changes. So the problem is not in the savepoints their-self, but in
the fact that we first apply all changes and then abort all the work.
Not sure, that it is possible to do something in this case.
Looks like the only way to increase apply speed is to do it in parallel:
make it possible to concurrently execute non-conflicting transactions.
