These tests results seem to be more about the pg_trgm changes than the
patch actually on this thread, unless I'm missing something.  But the
executive summary seems to be that pg_trgm might need to be a bit
smarter about costing the trigram-based search, because when the
number of trigrams is really big, using the index is
counterproductive.  Hopefully that's not too hard to fix; the basic
approach seems quite promising.

(I haven't actually looked at the patch on this thread yet to
understand how it fits in; the above comments are about the pg_trgm
regex stuff.)
