danielgustafsson · danielgustafsson · commit 6fe3cefde4b4 · 2023-09-08T11:34:43.000+02:00
Extend the PG_TEST_EXTRA documentation to mention resource intensive tests as well. The previous wording only mentioned special software and security in the main paragraph, with resource usage listed on one of the tests in the list. Backpatch to v15 where f47ed79 added wal_consistenct_checking as a PG_TEST_EXTRA target.
