each connection runs one process, plus the 3 master processes for the
postmaster, the writer, etc.     with two logins, I'd expect to see 5
processes.   with 102 concurrent logins, 105 processes.  the bulk of the
memory and code is shared by these processes, with the exception of
things like per client work_mem buffers which by definition can't be
shared as they are used to service that connections requests.

what overhead are you talking about?
