 I'd like to point out a somewhat related bottleneck in postgresql-simple
(but not postgresql-libpq).  Every PQescapeStringConn or PQescapeByteaConn
call involves a withMVar, which is about 100ns on the threaded RTS on my
system.  Taking the Connection lock once for the whole buildQuery call
might be much faster, especially for multi-row inserts and updates.
