It is not that he speeds up simple queries (you'd notice that maybe if you used 
infiniband, and even then it wouldn't matter much :)
He just avoided hitting some expensive critical sections that make scaling on 
multicore systems problematic.

It wouldn't be a shortcut if you had to establish another database connection 
besides existing one.

No, not really. Our average (do note, this isn't median and is affected by 
heavy queries more) DB response time is 1.3ms (measuring on the client).
