I am curious to learn more on this aspect. Kernels have provided support for "pmemdax" mode so what part is unsafe in stack. Reading the numbers it seems only at smaller scale modified PostgreSQL is giving enhanced benefit over unmodified PostgreSQL with "pmemdax". For most of other cases the numbers are pretty close between these two setups, so curious to learn, why even modify PostgreSQL if unmodified PostgreSQL can provide similar benefit with just DAX mode.
