why aren't you preparing the query? mysql uses simple rule based
planner and postgresql has a statistics based planner. Our planner
has all kinds of advantages in various scenarios, but this is
compensated by slightly longer planning time in some cases. OTOH, you
have prepared queries to compensate this. (mysql also has prepared
queries, but the syntax is awkward and there is much less benefit to
using them).
