背景
PostgreSQL 9.6在排序这块做了一些性能增强，前面一篇主要讲了排序算法的变更。
《PostgreSQL 9.6 内核优化 - sort性能增强(batch化quicksort代替replacement selection when work_mem small)》
本文针对另外几个SORT增强的点再简单介绍一下。
PostgreSQL 9.6 排序增强点
1. 文本排序性能增强，当相同的文本多次出现时，性能有所增强。
Speed up text sorts where the same string occurs multiple times (Peter Geoghegan)
Speed up text sorts where the same strings occur multiple times.
Cache strxfrm() blobs across calls made to the text SortSupport abbreviation routine.
This can speed up sorting if the same string needs to be abbreviated many times in a row.
Also, cache the result of the previous strcoll() comparison, so that if we're asked to compare the same strings agin, we do need to call strcoll() again.
Perhaps surprisingly, these optimizations don't seem to hurt even when they don't help.
memcmp() is really cheap compared to strcoll() or strxfrm().
Peter Geoghegan, reviewed by me.
2. 对uuid,bytea,char(n)的排序性能增强，使用abb keys, 整型比较算法取代memcmp。
Speed up sorting of uuid, bytea, and char(n) fields by using "abbreviated" keys (Peter Geoghegan)
Support for abbreviated keys has also been added to the non-default operator classes text_pattern_ops, varchar_pattern_ops, and bpchar_pattern_ops.
Processing of ordered-set aggregates can also now exploit abbreviated keys.
Add sort support routine for the UUID data type.
This introduces a simple encoding scheme to produce abbreviated keys:
pack as many bytes of each UUID as will fit into a Datum.
On little-endian machines, a byteswap is also performed;
the abbreviated comparator can therefore just consist of a simple 3-way unsigned integer comparison.
The purpose of this change is to speed up sorting data on a column of type UUID.
Make abbreviated key comparisons for text a bit cheaper.
If we do some byte-swapping while abbreviating,
we can do comparisons using integer arithmetic rather than memcmp.
3. 并行创建索引(非堵塞式)的性能增强
Speed up CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by treating TIDs as 64-bit integers during sorting (Peter Geoghegan)
Speed up CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's TID sort.
Encode TIDs as 64-bit integers to speed up comparisons.
This seems to speed things up on all platforms, but is even more beneficial when 8-byte integers are passed by value.
