Could you elaborate that a bit? It sounds interesting but I
do not get what you mean by:

"bytea deserialization": Do you mean from an escaped string
back to real binary data? Does that apply to my case (I use
PGexecParam and have the Format arg set to 1, binary) ?

"I/O bound": What do you mean by that?

Do you mean the Format arg =1 ? If not, what is appropriate
here?
