I don't think anyone was seriously proposing that (certainly not with
today's VACUUM). What I've heard speculated about is doing HOT pruning
during UPDATE and/or INSERT but specifically not during SELECT. I
concur that we need data to really understand the difference, hopefully
there'll be a patch posted which we can play with.
