* Consider use of open/fcntl(O_DIRECT) to minimize OS caching,
especially for WAL writes
-* Cache last known per-tuple offsets to speed long tuple access
-
- While column offsets are already cached, the cache can not be used if
- the tuple has NULLs or TOAST columns because these values change the
- typical column offsets. Caching of such offsets could be accomplished
- by remembering the previous offsets and use them again if the row has
- the same pattern.

+* -Cache last known per-tuple offsets to speed long tuple access
* Speed up COUNT(*)
We could use a fixed row count and a +/- count to follow MVCC
