My question was if the slowdown of every transaction start is really
needed - If it is possible to find some other solution, for example add
more logic to vacuum to pick up correct txn id (or little bit more
"correct"). But unfortunately I have no idea how to do this because of
my limited knowledge of Pg internals, the diffucult part I guess are the
shared relations...
