I'm sure that you could do that too. I'm not sure how valuable each
prefetching optimization is.

I can imagine prefetching heap pages mattering a lot less for a
primary key index, where there is a strong preexisting correlation
between physical and logical order, while also mattering a lot more
than what I describe in other cases. I suppose that you need both.
