TODO

The patch have no features for performance improvement of synchronous
replication. I admit that currently the performance overhead in the
master is terrible. We need to address the following TODO items in the
subsequent CF.
* Change the poll loop in the walsender
* Change the poll loop in the backend
* Change the poll loop in the startup process
* Change the poll loop in the walreceiver
I was actually hoping to see a patch for these things first, before any
of the synchronous replication stuff. Eliminating the polling loops is
important, latency will be laughable otherwise, and it will help the
synchronous case too.
* Perform the WAL write and replication concurrently
* Send WAL from not only disk but also WAL buffers
IMHO these are premature optimizations that we should not spend any
effort on now. Maybe later, if ever.
