So these experiences were pre-8.3, right?
The reason that I'm harping on that is that plpgsql does a
CommandCounterIncrement for each expression it evaluates, whether
or not there's any visible database access. As of 8.3 that won't
cause consumption of CIDs, but before it did. I suspect that in a
lot of real-world scenarios, CID consumption from triggers will be
down by an order of magnitude.
