It might be worth a test using a cpuset to interleave OS cache and
the NUMA patch I submitted to the current CF to see whether this is
getting into territory where the patch makes a bigger difference.
I would expect it to do much better than using numactl --interleave
because work_mem and other process-local memory would be allocated
in "near" memory for each process.
