Well, there was this:

    Reduce the memory requirement for large ispell dictionaries.

    This patch eliminates per-chunk palloc overhead for most small allocations
    needed in the representation of an ispell dictionary.  This saves close to
    a factor of 2 on the current Czech ispell data.  While it doesn't cover
    every last small allocation in the ispell code, we are at the point of
    diminishing returns, because about 95% of the allocations are covered
    already.

    Pavel Stehule, rather heavily revised by Tom

If you're not using ispell, it's not relevant, and I'm not sure whether
the savings were significant for anything but Czech.

            regards, tom lane
