Hi,

It's not a common use case to have such a high latency between the
database client and the server. Is it really required to run the
server on another continent?

I guess OpenOffice runs many requests, so latency is the problem.

Of course you could verify this if you run a profiler: See also

No, the connection pool can't be used for what you want. You could
force the database to stay open for a few seconds:

don't think this will help if latency is the problem.
