You'll obviously need to run it with the patch applied. I'd suggest to enable stats_block_level to see the effect on buffer cache hit/miss ratio.
groupeditems-42-pghead.patch.gz is enough, or it needs maintain_cluster_order_v5.patch ??

No, it won't make a difference unless you're inserting to the table, and the inserts are not in cluster order.
well, that's okay than. I see really good improvement in terms of speed and db size (which reflects obviously in i/o performance). Let me know if further testing can be done. I would happily see it in mainline.

If you have a real-world database you could try it with, that would be nice. The test I sent you is pretty much a best-case scenario, it'd be interesting to get anecdotal evidence of improvements in real applications.
