* An xact-assignment record is written every PGPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS
(= 64) subtransaction ids assigned to a single top-level transaction.

* A running-xacts record is written at every online checkpoint

* A btree-reuse-page record is written whenever a dead b-tree page is
recycled

* A vacuum cleanup-info record is written once per VACUUM of a table

* A standby-lock record is written for each AccessExclusiveLock acquired.

Am I missing something?

I doubt any of these are noticeable, though I don't think anyone has
measured it.
