ISTM that a separate process not related to pgbench should try to monitor
the master-slave async lag, as it is an interesting information anyway...

However I'm not sure that pg_stat_replication currently has the necessary
information on either side to measure the lag (in time transactions, but
how do I know when a transaction was committed? or number of
transactions?).
