If a single transaction creates lots of tables and then rolls back,
this patch won't change anything because we'll long since have
overflowed the eoxact list. But you weren't seeing an O(N^2) penalty
in such cases anyway: that penalty came from doing O(N) work in each
of N transactions. I'm sure you're right that you're mostly looking
at the filesystem cleanup work, which we can't do much about.
