We are having some performance issues after we upgraded to newest
version of PostgreSQL, before it everything was fast and smooth.
Upgrade was done by pg_upgrade from 9.4 directly do 9.6.1. Now we
upgraded to 9.6.2 with no improvement.
Some information about our setup: Freebsd, Solaris (SmartOS), simple
master-slave using streaming replication.
Problem:
Very high system CPU when master is streaming replication data, CPU
goes up to 77%. Only one process is generating this load, it's a
postgresql startup process. When I attached a truss to this process I
saw a lot o read calls with almost the same number of errors (EAGAIN).

Descriptor 6 is a pipe
Read call try to read one byte over and over, I looked up to source
code and I think this file is responsible for this behavior
src/backend/storage/ipc/latch.c. There was no such file in 9.4.
