It looks to me that the issue is simply one of not having quite enough
CLOG buffers. Your first run shows 8 different pages being fetched and
the second shows 10. Bearing in mind that we "pin" the latest CLOG page
into buffers, there are only NUM_CLOG_BUFFERS-1 buffers available for
older pages, so what we've got here is thrashing for the available
slots.
Try increasing NUM_CLOG_BUFFERS to 16 and see how it affects this test.
