Kevin Grittner 11e178d0dc Inline initial comparisons in TestForOldSnapshot()
Even with old_snapshot_threshold = -1 (which disables the "snapshot
too old" feature), performance regressions were seen at moderate to
high concurrency.  For example, a one-socket, four-core system
running 200 connections at saturation could see up to a 2.3%
regression, with larger regressions possible on NUMA machines.
By inlining the early (smaller, faster) tests in the
TestForOldSnapshot() function, the i7 case dropped to a 0.2%
regression, which could easily just be noise, and is clearly an
improvement.  Further testing will show whether more is needed.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
