More fun with these two scripts, for those who focus on tps.
 > pgbench -h server -M prepared -T 10 -P 1 -c 8 -f so.sql ... latency average = 1.128 ms latency stddev = 0.167 ms tps
=7024.818252 (including connections establishing)
 
 > pgbench -h server -T 10 -P 1 -c 8 -f so2.sql # cannot do "-M prepared" on multiple commands... anyway: ... latency

A mere 2.46 speedup for the read-only load.


The same with a "simple update" pgbench load, not compound & prepared:
  latency average = 1.716 ms  latency stddev = 1.890 ms  tps = 4623.270608 (including connections establishing)

vs compound but not prepared:
  latency average = 1.294 ms  latency stddev = 0.870 ms  tps = 6122.289249 (including connections establishing)

Ok, it is less impressive, just 30% better.
