I have Postgres on almost 400 boxes, some of which push over 2 million
transactions a day. It's really been a wonderful product for us.
All of them use the same version of postgress (8.0.3), embedded onto a
64 meg flash chip. So, doing a upgrade is a very big deal.
Does anybody know if 8.0.3 had a problem with using compression on TOAST
fields? Or where I could find changelogs to look through?

Not in 8.0, but in more recent versions pg_column_size() would help.
