My wish list includes incorporating the ideas brought forward in this
post 
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-hackers/2000-09/msg00513.html  
which discusses a patch that allows queries to return data from
the index scan directly.  In the thread it was noted that this should
be optional in that their is a small storage overhead but preliminary
results were showing a potential 75X increase in performance.  Oracle
has a similar index only table.  A special index type that includes a
tid would be really nice and I think worth investigating.

Carl Garland
