Hey HN. While the focus of this driver is not performance as such, a comparison can be found here:<p><a href="https://github.com/MagicStack/pgbench/pull/2" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MagicStack/pgbench/pull/2</a><p>What's more interesting for fans of type safety is that the driver uses PostgreSQL' extended query protocol to correctly process and encode query parameters to match the required type specification as returned by the database for a given query.<p>It uses binary mode only which also makes the codebase smaller and provides a significant increase in performance.
