> Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
(Jan Wieck)
</P
><P
> Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
when there are conflicting lock requests. Under load, it is easily
possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue. This fix also greatly
reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
conflicting request arrives.

> and related
functions, thereby improving PL/pgSQL's <TT

(Heikki Linnakangas, Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> Remove some data-copying overhead that was added in 9.2 as a
consequence of revisions in the plan caching mechanism. This
eliminates a performance regression compared to 9.1, and also saves
memory, especially when the query string to be executed contains many
SQL statements.
</P
><P
> A side benefit is that multi-statement query strings are now
processed fully serially, that is we complete execution of earlier
statements before running parse analysis and planning on the
following ones. This eliminates a long-standing issue, in that DDL
that should affect the behavior of a later statement will now behave as
expected.
