Is there a way to get the size of a specific index, on that note?
There seem to be access functions for the relation + indices, and for
the relation by itself, but not a specific index out of possibly
several. I could increase shared_buffers some, but client apps on the
same machine occasionally also have hefty memory requirements (not
during these regeneration runs, but it seems like restarting the
server with a new shared_buffers value before and after the
regeneration is a bit of overkill).
