Yeah, we're actually noticed significantly increased CPU load while running on 9.3.5.

No, problem appears exactly on this commit. Actually I don't really sure about "all": we don't see degradation when
performingplain SELECTs manually, 
but comparing logged query time of some SELECTs we see the differences.

Here is example 42ms -> 250ms:

I'm afraid we cannot do this now. If you wish, we can give you ssh access to the test server to investigate the
problem.
