Re: [GENERAL] What is the Best Postgresql Load Balancing Solution available ?
You can try using pg_pconnect instead of pg_connect. It has some downsides so see the docs. Also - check your memory usage, it may be you could fix this by reducing work_mem or similar.

What is the problem with pg_pconnect and is pgpool easy to use with an already running application ?Should i expect a major performance boost ? Najib."Joshua D.

There is an excellent tool that can help you monitoring your database, pgFouine: http://pgfouine.projects.postgresql.org/.
