Andres Freund 9fab40ad32 Use the new "Slab" context for some allocations in reorderbuffer.h.
Note that this change alone does not yet fully address the performance
problems triggering this work, a large portion of the slowdown is
triggered by the tuple allocator, which isn't converted to the new
allocator.  It would be possible to do so, but using evenly sized
objects, like both the current implementation in reorderbuffer.c and
slab.c, wastes a fair amount of memory.  A later patch by Tomas will
introduce a better approach.

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/.
