If you were testing a case with wider rows than Heikki tested, you'd see
less impact --- the cost of the old way was O(N^2) in the number of
tuples that fit on a page, so the behavior gets rapidly worse as you get
down to smaller tuple sizes.  (Come to think of it, the cmin/cmax
collapse would be a factor here too.)
