So, I guess my question is if we are only bloating on a contended operation, do we expect that to happen so much that bloat is a problem? I think the big objection to the patch is the additional code complexity and the potential to slow down other sessions. If it is only bloating on a contended operation, are these two downsides worth avoiding the bloat? -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
