Just to turn that into performance numbers, I tried the attached
patch.  The numbers came out better than I thought.

Same test as before:

master + 0001 + 0002 + attached hacks:
$ pgbench -n -f bench.sql -T 10 -M prepared postgres | grep tps
tps = 616.094394 (without initial connection time)
tps = 615.928236 (without initial connection time)
tps = 614.175494 (without initial connection time)

About 70% faster than master.
