yeah.  maybe though you might find that the overhead of temp tables is
already pretty good -- they are mostly ram based in typical usage as
they aren't synced.  I find actually the greatest overhead in terms of
using them is creation and dropping -- so for very low latency
transactions I use a unlogged permanent table with value returned by
txid_current() as the leading field in the key.
