Is the connection torn down and set up for each of those
runs ? That would account for some back-traffic due to
connection setup queries being run by psycopg2.

1) What's your objective ? Are you trying to solve a
real-world problem ? Or is this premature optimization ?

2) If the claim that JDBC needs a lot less back traffic for
getting the same amount of work done we'd surely like to
know why and how (for which we'd need details) in order to
decide whether there's something to be gained from that
insight.
