That looks to be less about what libpq will do than what the Ruby
interface code will do.
The volume of return data may also be an issue. I don't think the
backend will flush data out to the client except when it (a) reaches
an idle state or (b) fills the output buffer. Ten occurrences of
a short query result aren't gonna be enough for (b) --- from memory,
that buffer is probably 8KB.
