Hello,
I suppose this is important to do if we ever want to move SLRUs into
shared buffers. However, I wonder about the extra time this adds to
pg_upgrade. Is this something we should be concerned about? Is there
any measurement/estimates to tell us how long this would be? Right now,
if you use a cloning strategy for the data files, the upgrade should be
pretty quick ... but the amount of data in pg_xact and pg_multixact
could be massive, and the rewrite is likely to take considerable time.
