The patch wakes up walsender more frequently than now. Which leads
walsender to send smaller WAL data packet more frequently, and furthermore
which leads walreceiver to issue fsync more frequently. So I'm afraid that
the patch makes the disk more busy and slows down the read-only query
in the standby. I'm also afraid that frequent fsync calls degrade the
performance
of sync replication. So it's better to do benchmark to address the concerns.
