I guess that's okay.

I was never too worried about the impact on performance, because any
price that must be paid is paid only when new entries are created,
which is typically a very rare event that was already expensive due to
requiring an exclusive lock. This patch will make it much rarer in
practice by increasing the pg_stat_statements.max default, and thus
reducing the impact on such exclusive locks on *all* sessions, not
just those executing less popular queries. I don't know about you, but
the reason that I didn't performance test this is that it's really
hard to think of a representative scenario where it could possibly
matter, even though it seems like there might be one.
