"Only workable" was a stupid formulation, I meant a solution that works
with
a LSN.

To do it, a layer between physical storage and row workmemory
would need to be inserted, of course that would add a lot of overhead.
I guess more overhead than computing a page crc.

Yes, especially the 10 sec instead of 1 sec response times look very
suspicious.
