The thing I can do now is to retry my benchmark on current master and check what effect this patch has now.
Considering this I’ll mark this as Waiting on Author, in case you come to conclusion that another patch is required then we’ll bump to a return status.
I've made some read-only benchmarking. There is clear win in this case. The only point where median of master is higher than median of patched version is 40 clients.
In this point observations are following:
master: 982432 939483 932075
pgxact-align: 913151 921300 938132
So, groups of observations form the overlapping ranges, and this anomaly can be explained by statistical error.
I'm going to make some experiments with read-write and mixed workloads too.
