Some sort of "if stats were requested in the last 500 ms, just tell the
requester to read the existing file".

Things that come to mind:

- autovacuum could use a more frequent stats update in certain cases

- Maybe we oughta have separate files, one for each database? That way
we'd reduce unnecessary I/O traffic for both the reader and the writer.
