By looking at the results with scale factor 1000 and 100 i don't see any reason why it will regress with scale factor 300.

So I will run the test again with scale factor 300 and this time i am planning to run 2 cases.
1. when data fits in shared buffer
2. when data doesn't fit in shared buffer.

I have run the test again with 300 S.F and found no regression, in fact there is improvement with the patch like we saw with 1000 scale factor.

Shared Buffer= 8GB        
max_connections=150        
Scale Factor=300

Great, thanks!
