While all of the bulk-execute functions are likely to have
implementations, they are not necessarily likely to actually be
efficient implementations.

I ran into this with DBD::ODBC a while back because DBD::ODBC
implements execute_array() as "execute($_) foreach(@_)". DBD::Pg
doesn't appear to implement execute_array() at all, so perhaps it's
falling back on a similar default implementation in the superclass.

I generally suspect this is a Perl problem rather than a Postgres
problem, but can't say more without code. Maybe try pastebin if
you're having email censorship issues.
