Users that disable FASTUPDATE, in my experience, do so because their
stock work_mem is way too high and GIN searches become too slow due to
having to scan too large a list. I think it might make sense to invest
a modest amount of time in getting FASTUPDATE to be sized completely
differently from today -- perhaps base it on a hardcoded factor of
BLCKSZ, rather than work_mem. Or, if we really need to make it
configurable, then let it have its own parameter.
