Only for top transactions still in progress, so I doubt that would
help much.
I'm wondering about doing something similar to what
TransactionIdIsInProgress does, ie, make use of the PGPROC lists
of live subtransactions. Suppose that GetSnapshotData copies not
only top xids but live subxids into the snapshot, and adds a flag
indicating whether the subxids are complete (ie, none of the subxid
lists have overflowed). Then if the flag is set, tqual.c doesn't
need to do SubTransGetTopmostTransaction() before searching the
list.
