I don't know of one.

Fair enough.  I'm not convinced that the sheer quantity of memory use
is a problem, although I would like to see a few more test results
before we decide that definitively.  I *am* unwilling to pay the
startup overhead of initializing an extra 2048 syscache that only
sepgsql users will actually need.
