I've tested patch with this query
https://gist.github.com/x4m/fee16ed1a55217528f036983d88771b4
Test specs were: Ubuntu 14 LTS VM, dynamic RAM, hypervisor Windows
Server 2016, SSD disk, core i5-2500. Configuration: out of the box
master make.

On 10 test runs timing of select statement: AVG 3739.8 ms, STD 435.4193
With patch applied (as is) : 3017.8 ms, STD 319.893

Increase of overflow const showed no statistically viable performance
improvement (though, I do not worth doing).

Sure, 0x7FFFFFF was not for code but for metal arithmetics. I would
even add that INT_MAX is system-dependent and varies in different
specs. I'd suggest INT32_MAX.
