Well, we certainly should try to understand the unexpected behavior
in detail before we consider solutions. Per Sir A.C. Doyle, it is a
capital mistake to theorize in advance of the data.
(It's probably also worth noting that this community's historical
interest has not been in read-only or even read-mostly data. We'd
not be willing to pay all that MVCC overhead if we thought we were
just a warehouse of static data. If that's what you want, maybe
you need some other DBMS.)
