As per PFC's comment, if connections/sec is a bottleneck for you then the answer is to use persistent connections. Launching a new backend is a fairly heavyweight operation in Postgres. It sounds like there may be some system-level constraints affecting the process creation rate as well, but it's silly to spend a lot of effort on this when you can so easily go around the problem. regards, tom lane
