Oh, scratch that: a bit of oprofiling shows that while the tsvectors
aren't all that long, they are long enough to get compressed, and most
of the runtime is going into pglz_decompress not @@ itself. So this
goes back to the known issue that the planner ought to try to account
for detoasting costs.
