Re: Performance bug in prepared statement binding in 9.2?

This is why I'm asking them to run tests on 9.1.  If 9.1 doesn't exhibit
this behavior, then customplan is liable to be at fault.

HOWEVER, that doesn't explain why creating a plan for a query during
application operation would take 80ms, but only 1.2ms when I do it
interactively.

FYI, per questions from IRC: the times for each "cycle" in my data are
cumulative minutes.  Each cycle runs around 500,000 queries, so that's
the aggregate across all queries.
