hello everyone:
I was bothered by the postgres spinlock for a long time . How to understand this sentence "postgres 9.5 performance improvements for multi-CPU machines"
at present my database is 9.3.5 。 Can it solve the spinlock problem, if upgrade it to 9.5 ?

What problem? Spinlock contention is a symptom, not a problem in and
of itself. Spinlocks are good target for micro-optimization though,
and we're always looking for strategies to make things work better
if/when we get into high contention scenarios.

It's quite possible that the upgrade helps. But without additional data
it's hard to say. The change is that postgres internal reader/writer
lock now, in many cases, avoid the use of a spinlock, relying on atomic
operations instead.
