Hmm, do we currently compress each block in a WAL record separately, for
records that contain multiple full-page images? That could make a big
difference e.g. for GiST index build that WAL-logs 32 pages in each
record. If it helps the compression, we should probably start
WAL-logging b-tree index build in larger batches, too.
