Doesn't surprise me any, no. Exception recovery has to clean up after
a wide variety of possible errors, with only minimal assumptions about
what the system state had been. So it's expensive. More to the point,
the overhead's been broadly the same for quite some time.

I'm baffled why that should be so. I do not think any of the extensions
you mention add any exception-recovery overhead, especially not in
sessions that haven't used them.
As an additional test, I checked out 11.2 exactly, and got timings
that pretty much matched my previous test of v11 branch tip. So that
eliminates the theory that we broke something since 11.2 in a patch
that was also back-patched into that branch.
