AtEOXact_RelationCache() scanned the entire relation cache at the end of any transaction that created a new relation or assigned a new relfilenode. Thus, clients such as pg_restore had an O(N^2) performance problem that would start to be noticeable after creating 10000 or so tables. Since typically only a small number of relcache entries need any cleanup, we can fix this by keeping a small list of their OIDs and doing hash_searches for them. We fall back to the full-table scan if the list overflows. Ideally, the maximum list length would be set at the point where N hash_searches would cost just less than the full-table scan. Some quick experimentation says that point might be around 50-100; I (tgl) conservatively set MAX_EOXACT_LIST = 32. For the case that we're worried about here, which is short single-statement transactions, it's unlikely there would ever be more than about a dozen list entries anyway; so it's probably not worth being too tense about the value. We could avoid the hash_searches by instead keeping the target relcache entries linked into a list, but that would be noticeably more complicated and bug-prone because of the need to maintain such a list in the face of relcache entry drops. Since a relcache entry can only need such cleanup after a somewhat-heavyweight filesystem operation, trying to save a hash_search per cleanup doesn't seem very useful anyway --- it's the scan over all the not-needing-cleanup entries that we wish to avoid here.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
