If the problem were in the TCP stack utilization itself, one would
expect case #1 to be equivalent to case #4, since both use one UNIX
domain connection and one TCP connection. Likewise, one would expect
case #2 to be the worst.

Does PgPool markedly differ codewise when reading from TCP socket
instead of UNIX domain? Pulling down code ...
