No, actually, I don't think my connect overhead is huge.  My apache and
postgres are on the same box, and it connects using unix socket.

You're ignoring the fact that PG backends have a pretty considerable
startup transient.  By the time a backend has gotten its caches populated
enough to be efficient, it's expended a lot of cycles.  You might be
getting away with this approach under low load, but it will bite you in
painful places eventually.

:-) heh.

Well I think PG is even more impressive now. My server is on a VM, and I'm pretty much doing things the slow way, and I get a page back in 500ms. And this is a busy time of day.

Of course, I'm right next to the server. Anyone wanna check page times for me?

I'm talking JUST parcel.php ... the maps and photos don't count.

Thanks all.
