Huh, that's quite strange. There is one fairly recent report of
axolotl failing "make check" because of taking over a minute to shut down:

http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=axolotl&dt=2015-12-14%2020%3A30%3A52

but the runs before and after that show shutdown times of only a second or
two.
