I am to lazy to undo your top posting...

For one thing, ecpg uses libpq, so it can hardly be more performant.

For a more detailed analysis, you should compare what the test
cases are actually doing. You could set log_statements='all' to
see what arrives at the server, or you can use PQtrace
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-control.html)
in your client code.
