Hi,
V3 protocol seems to be slower than V2 if we don't use prepared statement
together. I measured performance of protocols on 8.3beta using pgbench -S
with modification to use PQsendQueryParams and PQsendQueryPrepared
instead of PQsendQuery. (I'll send the patch to -patches shortly.)
[V2] PQsendQuery (V2; original) [V3] PQsendQueryParams (V3) [V3P] PQsendQueryPrepared (V3 with prepared statements)
V3 was 12% slower than V2, and V3P was 40% faster than V2.
There seems to be some inefficient behaviors in the handling of
V3 protocol or in libpq. Are there any TODO items here?
