Your first bit of review feedback is that this would have to be something you could toggle on and off, there's no way most people want to pay this penalty. If you submit a new patch with a command line option to enable this alternate logging format and add the result to https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/commitfest_view?id=6 , you can put my name down as a reviewer and I'll take a deeper look at it as part of that.

Thank for offering to review this!

Here is an updated patch that adds a command-line option (-r) to enable/disable per-command latency reporting. It also uses the INSTR_TIME infrastructure that 9.0 provides, and should work correctly in multi-threaded mode. Data is collected per-thread and summarized only for reporting to avoid locking overhead. It now shows all lines for the SQL scripts together with their latencies (zero for comments), not only those containing SQL commands.

I'll add this patch to the next commitfest, and put you down as a reviewer, as you suggested.

best regards,
