AllocSetAlloc() is memory allocation, which, well, you need some of. ;-)
 DropCachedPlan() has to do with how statements are prepared and
released.  You can probably reduce some of that overhead by using
prepared statements consistently.  Hard to tell without more details
about your test script.  Have you looked at pgbench?
