Hmm, I guess there is a bit of a hotspot in StoreIndexTuple, which is
probably being folded into IndexOnlyNext in the per-function timings:

    ExecClearTuple(slot);
    for (i = 0; i < nindexatts; i++)
        values[i] = index_getattr(itup, i + 1, itupdesc, &isnull[i]);
    ExecStoreVirtualTuple(slot);

If I'm reading these results right, that section is about 3% of the
total number of samples.

Also, this line is kind of expensive:

        if (!visibilitymap_test(scandesc->heapRelation,
                                ItemPointerGetBlockNumber(tid),
                                &node->ioss_VMBuffer))

Around 2%.  But I don't see any way to avoid that, or even make it cheaper.
