Okay, here you go.  Results with debug_assertions = false:

Index-only scan: 173.389 ms (78.442 ms)
Index scan: 184239.399 ms (previously 164882.666 ms)
Bitmap scan: 159354.261 ms (previously 154107.415 ms)
Sequential scan: 134552.263 ms (previously 121296.999 ms)

So no particularly significant difference, except with the index-only
scan (which I repeated 3 times and it's about the same each time).
