   we found sometimes , with many sessions running same query "select ..."
at the same time, saw many sessions waiting on "LockManager".  for example,
pg_stat_activity show.  It's a production server, so no enable
trace_lwlocks flag. could you direct me what's the possible reason and how
to reduce this "lockmanager" lock?  all the sql statement are "select " ,no
DML.

   time                                             wait_event
 count(pid)
