Hi Bruce,

Sorry for the confusion because Rod asked a question
and I answered too quickly. This is what I mean.

15x Slower:
-----------
Client <--TCP--> PgPool <--UNIX--> PostgreSQL
Client <--TCP--> PgPool <--TCP--> PostgreSQL

5x Faster:
----------
Client <--UNIX--> PgPool <--UNIX--> PostgreSQL
Client <--UNIX--> PgPool <--TCP--> PostgreSQL

Hope this helps! Pgpool speeds up connection time by
5x with UNIX socket due to pre-fork and connection
pooling. However, pgpool slows down by 15x under TCP
socket for some unknown reason.
