It's very unlikely, sorry.
I'm working towards improving Business Intelligence workloads now and
this patch isn't in that direction. BI likes full blocks (and no
spaces).
The sparse heap idea would use resources better than a smooth spread and
is probably just as easy to code. The main problem is the FSM is only
currently filled at VACUUM time, so putting spaces in tables wouldn't
help much until after the first vacuum of a table.
