IIUC the problem with multiple concurrent COPY is not resolved yet.
I've run the same benchmark that I used for the first report:

* PG15 (cb2ae5741f)
 nclients = 1, execution time = 15.213
 nclients = 2, execution time = 9.470
 nclients = 4, execution time = 6.508
 nclients = 8, execution time = 4.526
 nclients = 16, execution time = 3.788
 nclients = 32, execution time = 3.837
 nclients = 64, execution time = 4.286
 nclients = 128, execution time = 4.388
 nclients = 256, execution time = 4.333

* PG16 (67a007dc0c)
 nclients = 1, execution time = 14.494
 nclients = 2, execution time = 12.962
 nclients = 4, execution time = 17.757
 nclients = 8, execution time = 10.865
 nclients = 16, execution time = 7.371
 nclients = 32, execution time = 4.929
 nclients = 64, execution time = 2.212
 nclients = 128, execution time = 2.020
 nclients = 256, execution time = 2.196

The result of nclients = 1 became better thanks to recent fixes, but
there still seems to be the performance regression at nclient = 2~16
(on RHEL 8 and 9). Andres reported[1] that after changing
MAX_BUFFERED_TUPLES to 5000 the numbers became a lot better but it
would not be the solution, as he mentioned.
