Oh, it'll definitely be more expensive in that case - but that seems
fair game. What I was wondering about was whether VACUUM FULL would be
measurably slower, because we'll now call toast_get_compression_id() on
each varlena datum. It's pretty easy for VACUUM FULL to be CPU bound
already, and presumably this'll add a bit.
