Ok, so ran the worst case load I could think of and didn't notice any relevant performance changes. The test I ran was: CREATE TABLE test_toast(id serial primary key, data text); ALTER TABLE test_toast ALTER COLUMN data SET STORAGE external; INSERT INTO test_toast(data) SELECT repeat('a', 8000) FROM generate_series(1, 200000); VACUUM FREEZE test_toast; And then with that: \setrandom id 1 200000 SELECT id, substring(data, 1, 10) FROM test_toast WHERE id = :id; Which should really stress the potentially added overhead since we're doing many toast accesses, but always only fetch one chunk. One other thing: Your latest patch forgot to adjust rules.out, so make check didn't pass...
