Hi

As I understand the changes to the notification system in 9.0, apart from
being able to carry a payload, it will guarantee the order of delivery, and
also it will keep the notification and notify any listener, even if the
listener didn't register at the time of notification. Is this correct?

What happens if the listener process dies, for how long time will it take up
ressources?
What happens if the listener process never picks up the notification, same
question?
What happens if the same process makes the same LISTEN request again. Will it
take up more ressources?
