No, we shouldn't. I'm pretty sure that we have various window
functions that are deliberately designed to take advantage of the
no-copy behavior, and that they have taken a significant speed
hit from your having disabled that optimization. I don't say
that this is enough to justify reverting the chunk header changes
altogether ... but I'm completely not satisfied with the current
situation in HEAD.
