This is correct. My use-case was safe with eventual consistency, so I could've even used `synchronous_commit=off`, but I kept it to 'local' to get a baseline. Was happy with the 60k number I got, so there was no need for 'off'.
But I think the biggest reason I hit that number so easily was the ridiculous ease of batching. Starting with a query to select one task at a time, "converting" it select multiple tasks instead is ... a change of a single integer literal. FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED works the same regardless of whether your LIMIT is 1 or 1000.
