I am ready to be that 1s is not enough as some buildfarm machines are
legendary slow. Honestly, to not have more to worry about I think
that this bit should be dropped.

"auto_explain.log_duration" should actually be named log_summary,
except that it defaults to true to be backward-compatible, while for
EXPLAIN the default is false, no? It would be nice to be consistent
with EXPLAIN for those options for the naming at least. The default
behavior of those parameters would be inconsistent as the duration is
showed by default with auto_explain and not with EXPLAIN, but it does
not seem like a good idea to change that..
