ok, so i decided to run a test with just the one element of my pipeline.


the process does:

BEGIN WORK;
loop
    read stdin
    if changes
          UPDATE table1 SET ... WHERE KEY = ...;
    print to stdout
END WORK;

now i fire up:
$ cat file.dat | adjust-rec > /dev/null

it works fine until the first update, then the backend goes into UPDATE and
starts eating CPU.

it appears that each call to UPDATE seems to be taking a long, long time to
complete.
