I don't think so.
SQL conversation mean some small messages for establishing protocol then
sending the SQL command and after that receiving data. The most part of
the time is taken by data transferring over the network. I would bet on
a maximum 5% performance degrading.

Tcl/Tk 8.0 would be the only version that could deal with binary i/o
over files and sockets.

In my opinion, it wouldn't be so hard to rewrite pg interface directly
in Tcl.
I would study that posibility and keep you informed.
