I know there were problems with pgstats.stat and I/O (for example this
thread discussing an I/O storm
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-01/msg01095.php).

But I thought those issues were already resolved and I have not noticed
any such issue recently. Am I missing something?

Sure, I understand that only a fraction of the users will use the patch
I've proposed. That's why I'm saying that the per-database timestamp
would be sufficient (although I'd prefer the per-record timestamp).
