Re: PGStream synchronization

So, for what it's worth, the hybrid approach somehow turned out to be
a massive, massive performance regression in our tests. We're still
looking into why. The only thing I've found that works consistently so
far is to *always* just close the pgStream socket (without sending
anything), which is only marginally better in theory than the current
situation (and probably actually worse in practice, since you're
unlikely to see concurrent use of the same connection, whereas having
a clean protocol shutdown is nice). I'll let the list know if we find
a better approach.
