OK, I'll try to come up with something. Do you have a recommended way of
capturing the amount memory being used by Postgres related to this? I was
thinking I would have a plpgsql function that loops a large number of
times, calling a few xpath() calls, and could take a memory snapshot
before/after the function completes. Is there a call within Postgres I can
make, or should I just rely on OS-level tools for this?
