Yeah, I read that. I think making the backend read these files directly
makes a ton of sense, so I'm no longer very excited about improving the
performance or memory consumption of the replace_token stuff. I think
we should put this thread on hold until someone does that, and then
maybe take another look to see if initdb still leaks anything worth
worrying about.
