This change falsifies the comments.  Maybe initialize now just after
resetSetringInfo() is done.

-    /* Try to flush pending output to the client */
-    if (pq_flush_if_writable() != 0)
-        WalSndShutdown();
+    /* Try taking fast path unless we get too close to walsender timeout. */
+    if (now < TimestampTzPlusMilliseconds(last_reply_timestamp,
+                                          wal_sender_timeout / 2))
+    {
+        CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();

-    if (!pq_is_send_pending())
-        return;
+        /* Try to flush pending output to the client */
+        if (pq_flush_if_writable() != 0)
+            WalSndShutdown();
+
+        if (!pq_is_send_pending())
+            return;
+    }

I think it's only the if (!pq_is_send_pending()) return; that needs to
be conditional here, isn't it?  The pq_flush_if_writable() can be done
unconditionally.

Other than that this looks like a reasonable change to me, but I'm not
an expert on this code.
