Michael, you nailed it again. My libpq test C program delivered between 2400 QPS and 5000 QPS vs ~10 QPS for DBI/DBD::Pg on this box. It remains unclear to me why the same DBI/DBD::Pg client code would deliver performance 2-3 orders of magnitude better on other roughly comparable or inferior boxes. What would be the recommended replacement for DBI/DBD::Pg as a perl interface?
