Is it possible that replay frequently conflicts with active queries? As you don't have hot_standby_feedback enabled that seems quite possible. 2) Is the startup process on the standby CPU or IO bound? 3) Does the workload involve loads of temporary tables or generally transactions locking lots of tables exclusively in one transaction?
