It is mentioned at

* Look at tuplestore performance issues. The tuplestore_in_memory()
thing is just a band-aid, we ought to try to solve it properly.
tuplestore_advance seems like a weak spot as well.

but not solved yet. It seems to me that to solve this the tuplestore's
inside design should be changed much. In-file state doesn't use memory
any more but it should be re-used for writing buffer, whereas the
current desgin uses BufFile to do it, which causes tell/seek overhead
for repeated put/get operation. And this is not for 8.4, I guess.
