Can't say that I've noticed anything like that. I have gotten a nagging
sense lately that there are strange delays happening at random times
during the regression tests. Like you I'm not quite sure about this,
but I run "make installcheck" often enough to be fairly attuned to it,
and it just seems like it's sometimes hanging up for a couple of seconds
for no apparent reason. OTOH we've stuck some new, slow queries into
the tests recently and maybe I just haven't acclimated to that.
