Yes.  I'd suggest also looking at ALTER TABLE ... SET STORAGE to avoid
having Postgres try to compress those columns, which is useless waste of
CPU cycles, since those formats already compress.

Right.

With the default being 100 I don't think there's a real need to crank it
higher server-wide, but it may be useful to crank it higher for specific
columns.
