slow information schema with thausand users, seq.scan pg_authid

Hello,

I know so db 500 000 users isn't normal situation, but I need it. After
user's generation all selects on system's catalog are slow. For example:
list of sequences

SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
c.relname as "Name",
CASE c.relkind WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' WHEN 'i' THEN
'index' WHEN 'S' THEN 'sequence' WHEN 's' THEN 'special' END as "Type",
r.rolname as "Owner"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_roles r ON r.oid = c.relowner
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE c.relkind IN ('S','')
AND n.nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'pg_toast')
AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
ORDER BY 1,2;

QUERY PLAN

there is any possibility creating index for pg_authid?

best regards
