This seems a huge amount of work to optimize *one* benchmark. If it
weren't so narrowly focused on the properties of a particular benchmark
(mostly UPDATE, mostly a few columns in wide tuples), I'd get more
excited. The extra time spent holding exclusive lock on the page
doesn't sound attractive either ...
