That might be possible. However, I think that we should change only
aset.c about this article.
I thought further: We can check whether context was used from the last
reset even when blocks list is not empty. Please see attached patch.

The effect of the patch that I measured is as follows:

o Execution time that executed the SQL ten times.
(1)Linux(CPU: Pentium III, Compiler option: -O2)
 - original: 24.960s
 - patched : 23.114s

(2)Linux(CPU: Pentium 4, Compiler option: -O2)
 - original: 8.730s
 - patched : 7.962s

(3)Solaris(CPU: Ultra SPARC III, Compiler option: -O2)
 - original: 37.0s
 - patched : 33.7s
