All what I found is about 0.5%... v3 contains your comments but it doesn't use lossy_page cache.
Ok, I've performed some more benchmarks (attached) using your original table. I'm thinking the v2.3 version is not worth the extra complexity. It seems the extra caching in v2.3, going by my benchmarks, is more likely to add overhead than save from hash lookups.
With the query used in my tests using v2.3 I didn't even see a speed up with 5 million records and 64KB of work_mem.
So I think v3 is the one to go with, and I can't see any problems with it, so I'm marking it as ready for committer.
