>Would performance suffer that much?
I have not benchmarked it much, however, the driver sends "autosave" queries once (savepoint) or twice(savepoint+release) for every user-provided query.
If we use extended queries (parse+bind+exec) for every savepoint, that would result in 3 or 6 messages overhead for every user query.
From many measurements we know that insert into table(id, name) values(?,?),(?,?),(?,?) is much more efficient than
sending individual bind-exec-bind-exec-bind-exec-sync messages like "insert into table(id, name) values(?,?)"
Based on that measurements I assume there's a non-trivial per-message overhead.
