This is consistent with what I'm seeing. That is, I see no
performance change using Vlad's patch to DBD-Pg-1.41. What I am
seeing, however, is my code that uses the old Pg interface is much
faster than my version that uses DBI/DBD::Pg. But this is probably in
the way I'm using it. For example, there are places where I should be
using execute_array() instead of wrapping a loop around execute().
