>From what I can tell there is only 3 tables we talk about:

  pg_database
  pg_shadow
  pg_group

and in each case there is the name column that is indexed (that matters to 
us, int columns are the same no matter what locale).

These name columns all use the special name datatype, maybe one could
simply treat name differently, like comparing these strings bytewise.

For my small databases I don't even need an index on any of these. But I 
can imaging someone having a couple of thousand users.
