Not that I can see from the numbers. In the non-network case you
processed 54,502 transactions over 600s and in the network case 13,966
transactions over 600s. Even if you factor out the connection
establishment you have fewer transactions over the same time period for
the network case. So there is no way the tps can be equivalent. As
others have pointed out this due to the effect of network latency on the
processing of the queries.
You might want to take a look at the Notes section of here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/pgbench.html
In particular the different logging options that are available. They may
make it easier to see what is going on.
