hi All, I am new on the list. I hope someone can give me an adequate answer or good advice about my problem.
I have a client (normally a web service, for testing the psql client) in GCP. There is a PSQL server in another DC. The ping response time is 20ms. I measured the bandwidth via scp and it is more than 1Gb/s which is more than enough IMO. The psql connection between the DCs for me was unexpectedly slow. I would expect a bit slower query without data ('select now()') due to the increased latency and somewhat similar speed of data transfer. What I see is that select now() increased from 0.7ms to 20ms which is OK. And 'select *' on a table with 3082 rows (so it's a small table) increased from 10ms to 800ms. Is this normal? Can I improve it somehow? Thank you,
