Need a performance tip - Statement pooling for server prepared st atements

Hi,

On the postgresql jdbc site's todo http://jdbc.postgresql.org/todo.html, it
is stated that
"statement pooling to take advantage of server prepared statements" should
be added.

Is that information up to date ? Is that feature really not supported. If
yes, does that mean, that using JDBC PreparedStatement(s) with PostgreSQL
doesn't take avantage of server side statement pooling, and thus has no
advantage over simple statements.

Either way, is there any other performance tip that could help us achieve
better performances ?

Any information on that matter would be greatly appreciated,

Thanx a lot,

Cédric Vidal

PS: We're using PostgreSQL/JDBC through Hibernate.
