I'm not sure that we're limited to 3 times, here. I could be missing
something, but if you have tuples with different xmins on the same page,
some might be older than 100M, which you freeze, and then you will have
to come back later to freeze the rest. As far as I can tell, the maximum
number of writes is the number of tuples that fit on the page.
