Fair enough, I just hope this doesn't get dragged into the next
commitfest without feedback.

Well the slowdown isn't "accidental", I think it's expected since I'm
adding a fair bit of code to expression processing (which isn't all
pretty).
It could be reduced by doing the caching decisions in a 2nd pass,
inside ExecInitExpr, but it would mean adding an extra field to
'struct Expr' and require a significant rewrite of the patch. I'm not
sure if it's worthwhile to attempt that approach:
