Having one sequence for each toast table could be wasteful though.  I

If we could have more than one sequence data in a shared buffer page,
things would be different.  Not sure how serious this really is.

This would actually be an argument for supporting multiple page sizes... too 
bad that's such a beast.

FWIW, from our most complex production database:

cnuapp_p...@postgres08.obr=# select relkind, count(*) from pg_class group by 1;
 relkind | count
---------+-------
 S       |   522
 r       |  1058
 t       |   698
 i       |  2894
 v       |   221
 c       |    12
