What about this one:
    case COPY_OLD_FE:
+    ereport(ERROR,
+      (errcode(ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE),
+       errmsg("Old FE protocal not yet supported in fast COPY processing
(CopyGetData())")));
+

This can't stay like it is, can it?
Who uses the old FE protocol for COPY? Any drivers?

Otherwise I think the speed improvment is very fine. :-)
