Thank you, Ranier, v12.8 has improved the performance
PostgreSQL 12.8, compiled by Visual C++ build 1914, 64-bit: ``` Function Scan on pg_show_all_settings a (cost=0.00..12.50 rows=5 width=485) (actual time=7.122..7.128 rows=1 loops=1) Filter: (name = 'standard_conforming_strings'::text) Rows Removed by Filter: 313 Planning Time: 0.083 ms Execution Time: 7.204 ms ``` Would you please direct me to the change log or some bug report to read in detail what was causing the problem and how it was fixed?
