However, hints on other things to analyze would be keen. Does it seem to be all CPU time (it is hard to imagine what else it would be, but...) Could you use oprofile or perf or gprof to get a profile of the backend during a run? That should quickly narrow it down to which C function has the problem. Did you test 9.0 as well? If the connection is dropped and re-established between "cycles" does the problem still show up?
