Yes we do, for WAL checksums. The page checksums are a different
algorithm though, one which has the advantage of being SIMD compatible.
The checksum computations have some impact, but if there's bigger impact
it's much more likely to be related to the fact that some hint bit
writes to a page now needs to be WAL logged.
