All the time you would need to connect to postgresql you will have the overhead of tcp connection establishment as well as the overhead of postgresql authentication. I don't know how much this is in time, but you can give it a try with some tests which opens a connection, do a simple query like select version() and close it. I think you could see something like 2 or 3 times slower than with the pool enabled. -- Regards, Francisco Figueiredo Jr. http://fxjr.blogspot.com http://www.npgsql.org
