I expect the pg_nextoid strategy could have sufficed. The ENUM strategy
wastes some time parsing 1000 label names, discarding odd-numbered OIDs, and
dropping the type. The pg_nextoid strategy wastes time by performing the
insertion loop in the executor instead of dedicated C code of
EnumValuesCreate(). Hard to say how to weight those factors.
