Avoid allocating memory for an nbtree descent stack during index scans. We only require a descent stack during inserts, when it is used to determine where to insert a new pivot tuple/downlink into the target leaf page's parent page in the event of a page split. (Page deletion's first phase also performs a _bt_search that requires a descent stack.) This optimization improves performance by minimizing palloc churn. It speeds up index scans that call _bt_search frequently/descend the index many times, especially when the cost of scanning the index dominates (e.g., with index-only skip scans). Testing has shown that the underlying issue causes performance problems for an upcoming patch that will replace btgettuple with a new btgetbatch interface to enable I/O prefetching.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
