Besides the one time spent CLUSTERing, do I loose anything by doing it
for every table?  Does a CLUSTER slow anything down?

It would seem to me that a) a CLUSTER should never have worse
performance than a random order b) may have better performance and c)
has the benefits of a VACUUM and REINDEX.  So, I may as well cluster
every table, if only by the primary key.
