Speed up uuid_out() by not relying on a StringInfo
Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>
Speed up uuid_out() by not relying on a StringInfo Since the size of the string representation of an uuid is fixed, there is no benefit in using a StringInfo. This commit simplifies uuid_oud() to not rely on a StringInfo, where avoiding the overhead of the string manipulation makes the function substantially faster. A COPY TO on a relation with one UUID attribute can show up to a 40% speedup when the bottleneck is the COPY computation with uuid_out() showing up at the top of the profiles (numbered measure here, Laurenz has mentioned something closer to 20% faster runtimes), for example when the data is fully in shared buffers or the OS cache.
