I started looking at the v32-0006 patch and have some initial comments.
Shouldn't old_slot, new_slot and tmp_new_slot be cached in the
RelationSyncEntry, similar to scantuple?
Currently, these slots are always getting newly allocated each call to
pgoutput_row_filter_update() - and also, seemingly never deallocated.
We previously found that allocating slots each time for each row
filtered (over 1000s of rows) had a huge performance overhead.
As an example, scantuple was originally newly allocated each row
filtered, and to filter 1,000,000 rows in a test case it was taking 40
seconds. Caching the allocation in RelationSyncEntry reduced it down
to about 5 seconds.
