When waiting for a logical replication worker process to start or stop, we have to busy-wait until we see it add or remove itself from the LogicalRepWorker slot in shared memory. Those loops were using a one-second delay between checks, but on any reasonably modern machine, it doesn't take more than a couple of msec for a worker to spawn or shut down. Reduce the loop delays to 10ms to avoid wasting quite so much time in the related regression tests. In principle, a better solution would be to fix things so that the waiting process can be awakened via its latch at the right time. But that seems considerably more invasive, which is undesirable for a post-beta fix. Worker start/stop performance likely isn't of huge interest anyway for production purposes, so we might not ever get around to it. In passing, rearrange the second wait loop in logicalrep_worker_stop() so that the lock is held at the top of the loop, thus saving one lock acquisition/release per call, and making it look more like the other loop.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
