Thanks, then the problem I'm seeing now is something else.
The related problem where the "end" rows are actually needed (e.g. ORDER BY...LIMIT) has not been fixed.
My idea to fix that was to check if the row's creation-transaction was in the MVCC snapshot (which just uses local memory) before checking if that creation-transaction had committed (which uses shared memory). But I didn't really have the confidence to push that given the fragility of that part of the code and my lack of experience with it. See "In progress INSERT wrecks plans on table" thread.
Simon also had some patches to still do the shared memory look up but make them faster by caching where in the list it would be likely to find the match, based on where it found the last match.
