Another run with more "normal" settings and over 1000 seconds, so less
"quick & small" that the previous one.

checkpoint_flush_after = 16
checkpoint_timeout = 5min # default
shared_buffers = 2GB # 1/8 of available memory

Random updates on 16 tables which total to 1.1GB of data, so this is in
buffer, no significant "read" traffic.

(1) with 16 tablespaces (1 per table) on 1 disk : 680.0 tps
per second avg, stddev [ min q1 median d3 max ] <=300tps
679.6 ± 750.4 [0.0, 317.0, 371.0, 438.5, 2724.0] 19.5%

(2) with 1 tablespace on 1 disk : 956.0 tps
per second avg, stddev [ min q1 median d3 max ] <=300tps
956.2 ± 796.5 [3.0, 488.0, 583.0, 742.0, 2774.0] 2.1%
