Well, I discover there is an allocation of 8232 (inflation...) made once
per statement by a memory context called... ExecutorState. Still not
sure exactly which allocation this is, but its definitely once per
statement on pgbench, which should narrow it down. Plan, query etc?
I don't see a way to hack the allocation, since the max chunk size is
8K.
