Previously, we'd compress only when the active range of array entries reached Max(4 * PROCARRAY_MAXPROCS, 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids). If max_connections is large, the first term could result in not compressing for a long time, resulting in much wastage of cycles in hot-standby backends scanning the array to take snapshots. Get rid of that term, and just bound it to 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids. That however creates the opposite risk, that we might spend too much effort compressing. Hence, consider compressing only once every 128 commit records. (This frequency was chosen by benchmarking. While we only tried one benchmark scenario, the results seem stable over a fairly wide range of frequencies.) Also, force compression when processing RecoveryInfo WAL records (which should be infrequent); the old code could perform compression then, but would do so only after the same array-range check as for the transaction-commit path. Also, opportunistically run compression if the startup process is about to wait for WAL, though not oftener than once a second. This should prevent cases where we waste lots of time by leaving the array not-compressed for long intervals due to low WAL traffic. Lastly, add a simple check to keep us from uselessly compressing when the array storage is already compact. Back-patch, as the performance problem is worse in pre-v14 branches than in HEAD.

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: https://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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
