Well, I think that email is mostly complaining about there being no
buffering at all in a situation where it would be advantageous to do
some buffering. But that particular code I believe is gone now because
of the shared-memory stats collector, and when looking through the
patch set, I didn't see that any of the cases that it touched were
similar to that one.
