I do wonder what, in realistic cases, is actually the bigger contributor
to the overhead. The tuple header or the padding we liberally add in
many cases...


The logical ordering patch + auto optimizations of column layout on table creation/rewrite might help partially there.

But what seems to be clear is that we need more in depth analysis of what really contributes most to the tuple size in various use-cases and then we can debate what we can do about it.
