Oh, I completely agree with accumulating related changes, and that code-level details aren't useful. I think we skipped them entirely here. And I just listed my own changes because I could find them quickly, but they're not alone, e.g: 090010f2ec9b1f9ac1124dc628b89586f911b641 - Improve performance of find_tabstat_entry()/get_tabstat_entry() which makes it realistic to have sessions touching many relations, which previously was O(#relations^2), and which caused repeated complaints over the years, and allows for different usecases. - Andres -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
