I think maybe, like how many round trips there are. Does the difference between the clients scale linearly with the number of rows returned? > Elixir/postgrex extended query: (always >500ms) > ------------------------------- > 2020-03-11 13:46:20.658 EDT [3401] LOG: duration: 513.792 ms plan: ... > Seq Scan on public.genes g0 (cost=0.00..6591.62 rows=60632 width=224) > (actual time=0.523..33.229 rows=60623 loops=1) You can see the "actual time" is low (that's postgres running the query), so the rest seems to comes from something like sending data back to the client or the client parsing the results. -- Justin
