In theory, the GUCs Andres has added to only compile if the estimated
total cost is above some threshold is supposed to help with this.  But
if the compile time and the cost don't correlate, then we've got
trouble.  How did you manage to create an expression that took 30
seconds to compile?  It doesn't take that long to compile a 5000-line
C file.
