This table is so mangled that I'm not very sure what it's saying.
Maybe you should have made it an attachment?

However, if I guess at which numbers are supposed to be what,
it looks like even the best case is barely a 50% speedup.
That would be worth pursuing if it were reasonably low-hanging
fruit, but converting PG to threads seems very far from being that.

I think you've done us a very substantial service by pursuing
this far enough to get some quantifiable performance results.
But now that we have some results in hand, I think we're best
off sticking with the architecture we've got.
