Hi,

Please find the test results for the following set of combinations taken at
128 client counts:

*1)* *Unpatched master, default *_flush_after :*  TPS = 10925.882396

*2) Unpatched master, *_flush_after=0 :*  TPS = 18613.343529

*3)* *That line removed with #if 0, default *_flush_after :*  TPS =
9856.809278

*4)* *That line removed with #if 0, *_flush_after=0 :*  TPS = 18158.648023

Here, *That line* points to "*AddWaitEventToSet(FeBeWaitSet,
WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH, -1, NULL, NULL);* in pq_init()."

Please note that earlier i had taken readings with data directory and
pg_xlog directory at the same location in HDD. But this time i have changed
the location of pg_xlog to ssd and taken the readings. With pg_xlog and
data directory at the same location in HDD i was seeing much lesser
performance like for "*That line removed with #if 0, *_flush_after=0 :*"
case i was getting 7367.709378 tps.


Also, the commit-id on which i have taken above readings along with pgbench
commands used are mentioned below:

commit 8a13d5e6d1bb9ff9460c72992657077e57e30c32
Author: Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:   Wed May 11 17:06:53 2016 -0400

    Fix infer_arbiter_indexes() to not barf on system columns.

*Non Default settings and test*:
./postgres -c shared_buffers=8GB -N 200 -c min_wal_size=15GB -c
max_wal_size=20GB -c checkpoint_timeout=900 -c maintenance_work_mem=1GB -c
checkpoint_completion_target=0.9 &

./pgbench -i -s 1000 postgres

./pgbench -c 128 -j 128 -T 1800 -M prepared postgres
