Aren't those NOT EXISTS clauses going to cause a humungous
performance hit?

Seems it would be better for the RI triggers to do more in C code
and stop expecting the query engine to handle these things. I've
always thought that ReferentialIntegritySnapshotOverride was an
absolutely unacceptable kluge, not least because it's turned on
*before* we do parsing/planning of the RI queries, and so is
likely to screw up system catalog checks.
