No, but I'm just testing my patch on Linux-2.4 with a middle-range server.
I will report the results sometime soon.

By the way, I found the debug option (XLOG_MULTIPAGE_WRITER_DEBUG) was enabled
in your prior benchmarks. It writes logs a lot.
I hope performance doesn't fall at least without debug.
