I think you've misunderstood double buffering.  The double buffering
itself does not slow anything down. If the buffer is in shared buffers
already then it does not need to look any further for it. Double
buffering only becomes an issue when buffers existing 2 times in
memory causes other useful buffers to appear 0 times.
