I've done more review on these patches. 1) as reported in my previous message patch 0001 looks useless as it doesn't allow measurable performances gain. 2) In patch 0004 there is two typo: s/informaion/information/ will fix them 3) the GUC are missing in the postgresql.conf.sample file, see patch in attachment for a proposal.
