commodityserver with dual Xeon (6C each) 2pc speed is about 80% of 1pc speed, but on 60C/120T system that patch didn’t
makesignificant difference because main bottleneck changes from file access to locks on array of running global

I'm using https://github.com/jesperpedersen/postgres/tree/pgbench_xa -
so just the client_id.

Attached with a new 2pc, as the server runs Linux 4.4.0 now, both using
-F 497 over a 6 min run.
