That's why you often have a minIdle parameter which allows to create
idle connections in advance.

It supposes that you do this job. From my experience, most of the "not

detailed analysis.

You do it for your critical high throughput applications, not for the others.

That said, interesting discussion. Not exactly what I expected.
