Hi Ken,
Thanks for your answer. My test is actually running with jboss 7/jdbc and the connection pool is defined with
min-pool-size=10 and max-pool-size=400.
Why would you think it is an issue with the connection pool?
Thanks,
Anne

Try a connection pooler like pgbouncer to keep the number of simultaneous queries bounded to a reasonable number. You
willactually get better performance.
