You can't say a "visible impact" unless you can measure it in your
specific application.
Let's say ODBC takes 10 times of .001 sec for libpq. Is this a
"visible impact"?
Well you have to consider server and client resources separately. If you
waste a bit of CPU time on the client by using a suboptimal driver, that
may be a problem, or not. It you waste server resources, that is much more
likely to be a problem, because it is multiplied by the number of clients.
I don't know about the specifics of ODBC performance, but for instance
php's PDO driver's handling of prepared statements with postgres comes up
as an example of what not to do.
