Good optimization. Here is the result on my machine:
* before: 13057.190 ms, 12429.092 ms, 12622.374 ms
* after: 8261.688 ms, 8427.024 ms, 8622.370 ms

Agreed, but how about pg_i(16|32|64)toa? 'i' might be more popular than 's'.

I have a couple of questions and comments:
* Why did you change "MAXINT8LEN + 1" to "+ 2" ? Are there possibility of buffer overflow in the current code?
@@ -158,12 +159,9 @@ int8out(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
- char buf[MAXINT8LEN + 1];

* The buffer reordering seems a bit messy.
//have to reorder the string, but not 0byte.
I'd suggest to fill a fixed-size local buffer from right to left
and copy it to the actual output.
* C++-style comments should be cleaned up.
