Comment(by mcayland):

 What was the resulting effect on performance by adding
 CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS to the allocators? Memory allocation is already known
 to be a PostgreSQL performance bottleneck, so it strikes me that this
 could have a significant effect on queries with large datasets/long query
 times. Can you provide the before and after numbers for a test query on a
 reasonably-sized dataset (several million records)?
