I'm not the patch author, but I've been looking at the patch recently
and I have a rebased version at hand - so attached.

FWIW I believe the patch is solid and in good shape, and it got stuck
after I reported some benchmarks showing somewhat flaky performance. I
know Binguo Bao was trying to reproduce the benchmark, and I assume the
silence means he was not successful :-(

On the larger data set the patch however performed very nicely, so maybe
I just did something stupid while running the smaller one, or maybe it's
just noise (the queries were just a couple of ms in that test). I do
plan to rerun the benchmarks and investigate a bit - if I find the patch
is fine, I'd like to commit it shortly.
