I definitely agree that those two have way more promise than anything
else on the table. However, now that I understand how badly we're
getting screwed by checkpoints, I'm curious to do some more
investigation of what's going on there. I can't help thinking that in
these particular cases the full page writes may be a bigger issue than
the checkpoint itself. If that turns out to be the case it's not
likely to be something we're able to address for 9.2, but I'd like to
at least characterize it.
