Thanks for spotting this, I've fixed it, see the new patch attached.

Done

I've done some tests, but they are not very reproducible:
the difference between runs is more than the difference between master
vs feature branch
and log_parameters_on_error on vs off.

I was using a small java app, it tested the speed using only a single
connection.
See its code and the results attached.

I'm sorry for the delay, feel free to move it to next commitfest if needed.

Best,
