Hi,

Over at -performance Mark Kirkwood tested a recent version of this
(http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/53B283F3.7020005%40catalyst.net.nz)
. I thought it's interesting to add the numbers to this thread:

Test: pgbench
Options: scale 500
          read only
Os: Ubuntu 14.04
Pg: 9.3.4
Pg Options:
     max_connections = 200
     shared_buffers = 10GB
     maintenance_work_mem = 1GB
     effective_io_concurrency = 10
     wal_buffers = 32MB
     checkpoint_segments = 192
     checkpoint_completion_target = 0.8


Results

Clients | 9.3 tps 32 cores | 9.3 tps 60 cores
--------+------------------+-----------------
6       |  70400           |  71028
12      |  98918           | 129140
24      | 230345           | 240631
48      | 324042           | 409510
96      | 346929           | 120464
192     | 312621           |  92663

So we have anti scaling with 60 cores as we increase the client connections.
Ouch! A level of urgency led to trying out Andres's 'rwlock' 9.4 branch [1]
- cherry picking the last 5 commits into 9.4 branch and building a package
from that and retesting:

Clients | 9.4 tps 60 cores (rwlock)
--------+--------------------------
6       |  70189
12      | 128894
24      | 233542
48      | 422754
96      | 590796
192     | 630672

Now, this is a bit of a skewed comparison due to 9.4 vs. 9.3 but still
interesting.

It looks like the issue I reported here:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/5190e17b.9060...@vmware.com

fixed by this commit:

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=b03d196be055450c7260749f17347c2d066b4254.

So, definitely need to compare plain 9.4 vs patched 9.4, not 9.3.
