Tom Lane 2acb2bcbcb Tweak ExecIndexEvalRuntimeKeys to forcibly detoast any toasted comparison
values before they get passed to the index access method.  This avoids
repeated detoastings that will otherwise ensue as the comparison value
is examined by various index support functions.  We have seen a couple of
reports of cases where repeated detoastings result in an order-of-magnitude
slowdown, so it seems worth adding a bit of extra logic to prevent this.

I had previously proposed trying to avoid duplicate detoastings in general,
but this fix takes care of what seems the most important case in practice
with very little effort or risk.

Back-patch to 8.4 so that the PostGIS folk won't have to wait a year to
have this fix in a production release.  (The issue exists further back,
of course, but the code's diverged enough to make backpatching further a
higher-risk action.  Also it appears that the possible gains may be limited
in prior releases because of different handling of lossy operators.)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
