Hmm the result doesn't seem that obvious.

First I got the following result.
[CommitDelay=0]
1)tps = 23.024648(including connections establishing)
tps = 23.856420(excluding connections establishing)
2)tps = 30.276270(including connections establishing)
tps = 30.996459(excluding connections establishing)
[CommitDelay=1]
1)tps = 23.065921(including connections establishing)
tps = 23.866029(excluding connections establishing)
2)tps = 34.024632(including connections establishing)
tps = 35.671566(excluding connections establishing)

The result seems inconstant and after disabling
checkpoint process I got the following.

[CommitDelay=0]
1)tps = 24.060970(including connections establishing)
tps = 24.416851(excluding connections establishing)
2)tps = 21.361134(including connections establishing)
tps = 21.605583(excluding connections establishing)
3)tps = 20.377635(including connections establishing)
tps = 20.646523(excluding connections establishing)
[CommitDelay=1]
1)tps = 22.164379(including connections establishing)
tps = 22.790772(excluding connections establishing)
2)tps = 22.719068(including connections establishing)
tps = 23.040485(excluding connections establishing)
3)tps = 24.341675(including connections establishing)
tps = 25.869479(excluding connections establishing)

Unfortunately I have no more time to check today.
Please check the similar test case.

[My test case]
I created and initialized 10 datatabases as follows.
1) create databases.
createdb inoue1
craetedb inoue2
.
createdb inoue10
2) pgbench -i inoue1
pgbench -i inoue2
.
pgbench -i inoue10
3) invoke a modified pgbench
pgbench -c 10 -t 100 inoue

I've attached a patch to change pgbench so that
each connection connects to different database
whose name is 'xxxx%d'(xxxx is the specified
database? name).
