Yes, it's already committed for 9.3.2.  There are a bunch of other fixes
related to multixact which I intend to commit soon too.

Yeah, I tested that too, but that problem is not related.  I also tested
it with the fix to another performance problem which I posted as
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20131127222435.GC5513@eldon.alvh.no-ip.org
but that's not it either.  It really requires a completely separate
optimization.
