I thought about that, but figured you'd object ;-) One possibility is to do something you had recommended awhile back for other reasons: add a spinlock to each PROC structure and use the spinlock, rather than SInvalLock, to protect setting and reading of xmin, logRec, and related fields. I haven't finished working out all the details, though, and this seems like a rather large change to make at this late stage of beta. Comments? regards, tom lane
