Does this result indicate that it is still CPU bound but it does the
actual decoding and completes in 1s instead of spending 230s mainly to
execute unnecessary invalidations?

From the patch perspective, I think it is better if we can add one
test case as well where we process some invalidations and then the
rollback happens and we need to process all the invalidations
together. Basically, this is to cover the new code, if such a test
already exists then it is fine.

Yeah, it won't be possible before PG14 as it depends on the new
feature added in PG14.
