- 2nd_lvl_cache.diff (text/x-patch) patch
Hi, I have implemented initial concept of 2nd level cache. Idea is to keep some segments of shared memory for special buffers (e.g. indices) to prevent overwrite those by other operations. I added those functionality to nbtree index scan. I tested this with doing index scan, seq read, drop system buffers, do index scan and in few places I saw performance improvements, but actually, I'm not sure if this was just "random" or intended improvement. There is few places to optimize code as well, and patch need many work, but may you see it and give opinions? Regards, Radek
