Yeah that is what seems to be the best way. The thing is that I am looking in the PostgreSQL code for the first time and I am not fully aware of the data structures or the methods / algos implemented in the project. This makes the work of finding out whats and whys much more difficult. So I asked it on the list.
Thanks anyways for the reply.
