As benchmarks show, using libc's string-to-integer conversion is pretty slow. At least part of the reason for that is that strtol[l] have to be more generic than what largely is required inside pg. This patch considerably speeds up int2/int4 input (int8 already was already using hand-rolled code). Most of the existing pg_atoi callers have been converted. But as one requires pg_atoi's custom delimiter functionality, and as it seems likely that there's external pg_atoi users, it seems sensible to just keep pg_atoi around.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
