Hi Peter,

After each run, I did a:
SELECT pg_total_relation_size( {index name} ) / COUNT(1)::FLOAT FROM test_indexes
and the standard deviation between PG versions is < 1%.

Boolean and Int have about ~28-29 bytes per row.
Text has about ~77-78 bytes per row.
So not much change between PG versions.

I am testing your comment about low cardinality indexes, and changed my inserted values.

for integers: (RANDOM()*10)::INT % 2
for text:  MD5(((RANDOM()*10)::INT % 2)::TEXT)

The latest results show that text and integer indexes now behave poorly like the boolean index.
The performance hit is visibly disappointing compared to versions prior to PG10.

Are there any workarounds to this, as far as you can see?

Cheers,

Paolo
