Agreed.
Committed, except for the large GIN test. I kept a smaller version of
the GIN test, which exercises vacuum and page deletion, but not the
internal page split. I also slimmed down the other tests down a little bit.
This grew "pg_dumpall | wc -c" from 5505689 to 6926066 bytes. The size
of the regression database grew, according to psql's "\l+" command grew
from 45 MB to 57 MB. The amount of WAL generated by "make installcheck"
grew from 75 MB to 104 MB.
That's a quite big increase in all those measures, but I think it's
still acceptable, and I would really like these to run as part of the
regular regression suite.
