OK, so that seems comparable to my results on a dual Xeon ... probably,
both your machine and my newer one have fast-to-read clock hardware.
We need to get some numbers from one of the people who have complained
about EXPLAIN ANALYZE overhead.

I'll have to try the stats-collection-active case on my machines, too.
I was still planning to look into removing the buffer process to reduce
context-swap overhead for stats collection ...
