Hm.. that's an interesting statement.

What's probably worst when switching from OFF to ON is the VACUUM run
that needs to touch every page (provided you haven't ever turned
checksumming on before). Maybe you want to save that step and still get
the additional safety for newly dirtied pages, right?

A use case worth supporting?
