I have run pgbench, in the first scenarion using kernel implementation
(without libc wrappers) and, in the second scenario, using userland
implementation (with libc wrappers and setting environment variable USR_SYSVIPC
to "1"). I've used parameters from the first three columns (number of
clients, number of threads and duration) for pgbench and I've collected the
number of transactions made including connections established (column I.)
and excluding connections established (column E.).

I've noticed there is a problem with column I. for the userland
implementation (there is a big difference between kernel and userland
implementation) and I don't understand why it is not the same behavior for
column E. Maybe this will help me understand where it can be done anything
for performance improvements.

The benchmarks are made on a KVM with 4 cores and 4G RAM that runs on a
computer with 4 cores HT (8 threads).
