Those look like timed checkpoints - if the checkpoints are sleeping a
part of the time, you're not going to see any potential overhead.

To see whether this has an effect you'd have to make sure there's a
certain number of dirty buffers (e.g. by doing CREATE TABLE AS
some_query) and then do a manual checkpoint and time how long that
times.
