Hi Hackers, Can we resurrect the patch proposed by Junji TERAMOTO? It removes unnecessary items before btree pages split. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-01/msg00301.php
There was a problem in the patch when we restarted scans from deleted tuples. But now we scan pages at-a-time, so the problem is resolved, isn't it? http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-05/msg00008.php I think this feature is independent from the SITC project and useful for heavily-updated indexes. If it is worthwhile, I'll revise the patch to catch up on HEAD.
