Just as a note here, since the OP is using Debian. If you are
connecting over TCP, debian will by default to SSL on your connection
which obviously adds a *lot* of overhead. If you're not actively using
it (in which case you will control this from pg_hba.conf), just edit
postgresql.conf and disable SSL, then restart the server.
