That can add overhead in cases where we don't need to log the toasted
values of the old tuple. We only need it for the case where we have
unchanged toasted replica identity columns. In the previous version
[1], we were doing something like you are suggesting and that seems to
have overhead as explained in the second paragraph of the email [2].
Also, Alvaro seems to have some reservations about that change. I
don't know if there is a better way to fix this but I could be missing
something.
