We cannot assume that zlib is available everywhere. Thus it must be determined during configure and where it
isn't,TOAST can only move off values to make tuples fit into blocks. Since decompression of already in memory
itemsis alot faster than doing an index scan on the TOAST table, I expect this to make installations without zlib
damnedslow.
And how should binary distributions like RPM's handle it? I assume that this problem is already on it's way
becauseof the integration of zlib into pg_dump. The only way I see is having different RPM's for each
possible combination of available helper libs. Or is there another way to work around?
