What compiler and optimization settings are you using, and what is the hardware platform? It seems strange to me that you would get any noticeable speedup from this change. Most C compilers are supposed to be reasonably smart about optimizing subscripted pointers.
Whoops, my code was linking against an old 7.3.x version of libpq, the speed is the same compared to 7.4.
