You're right. Evidently I didn't write this email very carefully.
Sorry about that.

To say it again: I think that a miss (without dirtying the page)
should be cheaper than dirtying a page. This thread began because I
wanted to discuss the relative cost of different kinds of I/O
operations to VACUUM, without necessarily discussing the absolute
costs/time delays.
