You mean something like
if (input-buffer-not-empty)
parseInput();
? This still bothers me a bit since it's a mixing of logic levels;
PQputCopyData is an output routine, it shouldn't be getting its fingers
dirty with input buffer contents. I'm willing to tolerate this if it
can be demonstrated that it provides a useful performance gain compared
to the unconditional parseInput call, but let's see some numbers.
