...and only changed very seldom after a while, I would add. Because
changing an old tuple would invalidate the optimization for the affected
segment.
That's why this optimization can't help for inventory tables, where an
id might correlate with time and storage location, but writing access
doesn't correlate with storage location (segment number) and time.
