153+ output. The overhead of repeatedly reading the system clock can slow down the
154+ query significantly on some systems, so it may be useful to set this
155+ parameter to <literal>FALSE</literal> when only actual row counts, and not

157+ This parameter is only effective when <varname>auto_explain.log_analyze</varname>
