I can't imagine that it was causing a factor of 2 difference, but I've
changed the code in DBD::Pg to make do() a lot smarter, for brain-dead
benchmarks such as MySQL's that use do() instead of prepare/execute
like they should. In short, DBD::Pg will short-circuit a lot of the usual
work and call PQexec directly if it can get away with it, which should
make the profile Tom posted look a lot better. It also avoids overhead of
going through Pg.pm, and is all C/XS code now. Hopefully, this should
make the benchmarking results a little more fair. :) This is now in
cvs, and will be part of the upcoming version 1.44 of DBD::Pg.
