Well, I ran a mutlithreaded test where around 30 connections were hammered in
a mutlihtreaded servers using libpq for 100,000 transactions. I didn't notice
any data inconsistency.

Only noticable thing was that postgresql was not returning even simplest
result in less than 200 ms. So in order to achieve a good throughput, I had
to up the number of connections. The max throughput. was 200ms/no. of
connections.

but that is a different issue..
