We use tpcc and pgbench to test postgresql 9.4beat2 performance. And we found the tps/tpmc could not increase with the terminal increase. The detail information is in attachment.
Many processes is blocked, I dump the call stack, and found these processes is blocked at: ProcArrayLock. 60% processes is blocked in ProcArrayEndTransaction with ProcArrayLock EXCLUSIVE, 20% is in GetSnapshotData with ProcArrayLock SHARED. Others locks like XLogFlush and WALInsertLock are not very heavy.
Is there any way we solve this problem?
