Hi All!
I'm thinking about connection startup overhead... why postgres don't
have something similar to oracle's pre-spawned server? It's similar to
apache spare server too. You can launch X backends and wait for
connections, with this feature you can avoid connection startup overhead
(only a little, of course). I know the bes approach is connection
pooling, but in some enviroments (php+apache) it's too dificult to
implement.
