BTW, just for the heck of it, I decided to try it out on my dev system (several year old 17" MacBook Pro, meaning core
i7processor), PostgreSQL 9.2, pgbouncer 1.5. So, connecting via libpq to postgres directly takes 2-3 ms, connecting to
pgbouncertakes typically 70-150 us, with the occasional outlier at 500+ us--of course that's with a pgbouncer config
witha big enough pool that I never have to wait for a connection to become free.

thinkingwhen asking about psql switches? Again, a feature request might be in order--I can think of two possibilities:
1)a command-line verbose-mode switch that would provide details of the connection process, which could be good also for
debuggingconnection problems, showing what host is being attempted, what the resolution (if any) of the host name is,
connectionopened or not, authentication passed or not, and so on; 2) enhancements to the /conninfo command to provide
moredetails.
