Actually, your problem is fixed in 2 different ways.

1) With TOAST

2) LOs have been improved. My understanding is that instead of
storing each LO in a separate file, 7.1 will store all the LOs in
a single file.

I have been using a pre-7.1 snapshot for development, and
it's been perfectly useable.
