Oh, I have no doubt that that could eat a lot of cycles inside the
originating transaction ;-).  I just misread Craig's complaint as
being about the cost of the first table scan *after* that transaction.

Getting rid of the linked-list representation would be a win in a couple
of ways --- we'd not need the bogus "list of XIDs" support in pg_list.h,
and xactGetCommittedChildren would go away.  OTOH AtSubCommit_childXids
would get more expensive.
