Creating special indexes more efficiently
In PostgreSQL 12, index creation has been improved once again. This time, the GiST, GIN, and SP-GiST indexes were the ones receiving an extra boost. From now on, these index types will produce less WAL during index creation, which, in turn, saves space if you are archiving a transaction log.
