Oops, my parse error:( I incorrectly read Tom's statement.
Actually, I also was afraid that price of parsing is large enough and this is why my first attempt was to avoid
parsing.
But then I find out that most of the time is spent in analyze and planning (see attached profile):

pg_parse_query: 4.23%
pg_analyze_and_rewrite 8.45%
pg_plan_queries: 15.49%
