Geez! I don't think it'll help you find the memory leak (if any), but
couldn't you normalize the tables to smaller ones? That may be a pain when
updating (views and rules), but I think it'd worth in resources (time and
memory, but maybe not disk space). I wonder what is the maximum number of
updated cols and the minimum correlation between their semantics in a
single transaction (i.e. one func call), since there are "only" 100 params
for a proc.

Huh. It's still 30-50 columns (a size of a fairly large table for me) of
other types :)
