Is it possible to find the number of disk IOs performed for a query?  EXPLAIN 
ANALYZE looks like it shows number of sequential rows scanned, but not number 
of IOs.

My database is on an NVMe SSD, and am trying to cut microseconds of disk IO per 
query by possibly denormalizing.



Try EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) e.g:

bench=# EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) SELECT count(*) FROM pgbench_accounts WHERE bid=1;

...shows the number of (8k unless you've changed it) pages read from disk or cache. Now this might not be exactly what you are after - the other way to attack this is to trace your backend postgres process (err perfmon...no idea how to do this on windows...) and count read and write calls.
