Hmm, did you fix the 42 case only? The other one is broken too ...

Also, it seems the "tran_lock.out" file captured wrong input -- I think
you mean "WHERE transactionid IS NULL" in the query instead of "WHERE
transaction IS NULL".

I wonder what the big down-spikes (?) at minutes ~45 and ~85 correspond
to. Are those checkpoints? The IO vmstat chart would indicate that, I
think.

Anyway, it's interesting to see the performance go up with autovacuum
on. I certainly didn't expect that in this kind of test.
