* Consider use of open/fcntl(O_DIRECT) to minimize OS caching,
especially for WAL writes
+
+ O_DIRECT doesn't have the same media write guarantees as fsync, so it
+ is in addition to the fsync method, not in place of it.
+
* -Cache last known per-tuple offsets to speed long tuple access
* Speed up COUNT(*)
