It looks like the trick is to compile with -fno-omit-frame-pointer.
New profiling run:
27563 10.3470 libc-2.11.2.so memset
15162 5.6917 libc-2.11.2.so memcpy
13471 5.0569 postgres hash_search_with_hash_value
13465 5.0547 postgres AllocSetAlloc
9513 3.5711 libc-2.11.2.so _int_malloc
8729 3.2768 libc-2.11.2.so fread
6336 2.3785 ld-2.11.2.so do_lookup_x
5788 2.1728 ld-2.11.2.so _dl_fixup
4995 1.8751 postgres MemoryContextAllocZero
4978 1.8687 ld-2.11.2.so strcmp
Full results, and call graph, attached. The first obvious fact is
that most of the memset overhead appears to be coming from
InitCatCache.
