Yea turn off ssl if you are on local network and see if that helps... I suspect what is happening in my case, (and maybe yours), is the SSL connection is "renegotiating" and failing, which is documented elsewhere (google postgresql ssl renogotiation)
So far I have not seen this issue since I switched to a local connection. Although I have two other older rails apps running presumably with SSL and they have not exhibited this error.
