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.)
