If I understand this workload correctly, the contention is for the
relation extension lock. But I think we're likely to move that out of
the heavyweight lock manager altogether in the not-too-distant future,
as proposed in https://commitfest.postgresql.org/17/1133/ ? I'd be
interested in hearing what happens to performance with that patch
applied.
