Tom Lane f7d0a31ce9 Reduce initial size of RelfilenodeMapHash.
A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that hash_seq_search'ing
this hashtable can consume a very significant amount of overhead during
logical decoding, which triggers frequent cache invalidation.  Testing
suggests that the actual population of the hashtable is often no more
than a few dozen entries, so we can cut the overhead just by dropping
the initial number of buckets down from 1024 --- I chose to cut it to 64.
(In situations where we do have a significant number of entries, we
shouldn't get any real penalty from doing this, as the dynahash.c code
will resize the hashtable automatically.)

This gives a further factor-of-two savings in Mathieu's test case.
That may be overly optimistic for real-world benefit, as real cases
may have larger average table populations, but it's hard to see it
turning into a net negative for any workload.

Back-patch to 9.4 where relfilenodemap.c was introduced.

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/.
