In next couple of weeks I plan to test the patch on a different x64 based
system to do a sanity testing on lower number of cores and also try out other
workloads ...     
I'm actually more interested in the large number of cores but fewer processes
and lower max_connections. If you set max_connections to 64 and eliminate the
wait time you should, in theory, be able to get 100% cpu usage. It would be
very interesting to track down the contention which is preventing that.   
My previous calculation in this thread showed that even at 0 wait time, the
client seems to introduce ~3ms wait time overhead on average.  So it takes
close to 128 threads in each test to stop the linear scaling since the
average processing time seems to be about ~3ms.
Either that, or the tests actually are running on a system capable of 128
threads.
 

Nope 64 threads for sure .. Verified it number of times ..
