I've now done some light performance testing -- just stuff like pgbench -S -M prepared -c 20 -j 20 -T 60 bench I cannot see any improvement on either FreeBSD 12 or NetBSD 8.1, either as to net TPS or as to CPU load. If anything, the TPS rate is a bit lower with the patch, though I'm not sure that that effect is above the noise level. It's certainly possible that to see any benefit you need stress levels above what I can manage on the small box I've got these OSes on. Still, it'd be nice if a performance patch could show some improved performance, before we take any portability risks for it. regards, tom lane
