The case I was referring is for xmin < XID < xmax, which you have
mentioned below that you are planing to directly refer pg_clog. This
is I think one of the main place where new design can have impact
on performance, but as you said it is better to first do the implementation
based on pg_clog rather than directly jumping to optimize by maintaining
XID to CSN mapping.
