BTW, the evidence we already have from axolotl's last run is that
post-checkpoint shutdown in the ecpg test was pretty quick:
LOG: database system is shut down at 2016-02-09 16:31:14.784 EST
LOG: lock files all released at 2016-02-09 16:31:14.817 EST
However, I'd already noted from some other digging in the buildfarm
logs that axolotl's speed seems to vary tremendously. I do not
know what else you typically run on that hardware, but putting it
under full load might help prove things.
