How does this compare to using tcpip without pgpool? Is it the tcp startup/shutdown time that is hurting performance? pgpool is using persistent connections so I don't think a difference would show up there, but the client/pgpool connections are being created/destroyed frequently. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
