Hmm.  I have been profiling PG for some years now, and I cannot remember
ever seeing a profile in which SearchCatCache topped everything else
(the usual suspects for me are palloc/pfree support code).  Can you give
any explanation why it looks like that?  Can your profiling code tell
where the hotspot call sites of SearchCatCache are?
