LWLock contention benchmarks in Postgres 18
Measure performance impact from LWLock contention in PostgreSQL 18 as a function of table index count and the max_locks_per_transaction parameter in a synthetic benchmark.
Acceptance Criteria
- Benchmark measures LWLock contention in PostgreSQL 18 as a function of table index count and max_locks_per_transaction
- Test matrix covers multiple index counts (e.g., 0, 10, 50, 100 indexes per table) and max_locks_per_transaction values
- Metrics collected: TPS, latency, wait event distribution, lock contention time
- Synthetic workload is documented and reproducible
Definition of Done
- Benchmark scripts are committed and reproducible
- Results are documented with charts showing contention vs. index count and max_locks_per_transaction
- Findings include actionable recommendations for tuning
