You're right. Using a JDBC connection pool to cache database connections, reuse physical connections and minimize expensive operations in the creation and closing of database sessions (1), or pgpool that is a connection pool server for PostgreSQL (2), the overhead of create a server process for each new connection almost disappears. It will only be necessary one connection pool for each database accessed, and pgpool will make a new connection if there's no user name and database name pair yet. Once more the middle tier simplifies the database operation.
