There is no connection between TOAST tables and pg_largeobject, which holds large objects. Changing TOAST strategy from EXTENDED to MAIN will give you a larger main table and a smaller TOAST table. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/storage-toast.html Try \lo_list at your psql prompt to see why your large object table is big.
