Slowdowns --- specifically, the behavior is "generate next sequential
OID, probe index to see if it exists in table, repeat until not".
So if you've got a long run of consecutive OIDs in the same table,
when the OID counter reaches that point it could take a while to
assign the next free OID successfully. This would manifest as a slower
than expected INSERT.
