I tried this time for x in $(seq 1 1000); do pg-install/bin/psql -c "select 1" >/dev/null done With ssl=off it looks about like this: real 0m12.909s user 0m3.712s sys 0m3.056s With ssl=on it looks about like this: real 1m4.741s user 0m26.638s sys 0m4.328s It has been reported that the data transmission overhead is much less than the connection establishing overhead, which is measured here. But this is certainly not an encouraging measurement, if we want to put this close to the default path of use. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
