Thanks. I had forgotten all the work we put into minimizing the size of
the deferred trigger queue. In this example it's only 16 bytes per
entry, whereas a 1-element List is going to involve 16 bytes for the
header, 8 bytes for the cell, plus two palloc item overheads --- and
double all that on a 64-bit machine. So yeah, this is a significant
leak. Patch applied.
