Well, just as I thought I had this one pinned, my test results have become wildly inconsistent, eroding all confidence in my prior conclusions about DBI slowness, etc. I've seen at least 1000+ QPS performance via DBI/DBD::Pg, Pg, and C/libpq. I'm now investigating the possibility of simple old intermittent I/O congestion... Ed ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
