And, if you do the testing using specific query, would be nice if you provide the results of: Explain analyze <your_select>; along with the definition of database objects (tables, indexes) involved in this select. Also, you mention client-side connection pooler. In my experience, server-side poolers, such as PgBouncer mentioned earlier, are much more effective.
