Can you point to a good example of this anywhere in the docs? I don't
see ExecPrepared anywhere in the core documentation.

well, it's actually PQexecPrepared()
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/libpq-exec.html

do some tests and you should see a nice improvement over PQexec().

Thanks!

I remain curious, though: in the event that a RAM-disk-based architecture remains in place, do all traditional disk-based considerations go out the window? For instance, does trying to cluster same-table statements together in a transaction in an effort to reduce disk activity make any difference?

And is the overall strategy of attempting to keep distance between checkpoints somewhat high (especially since the need for checkpointing overall is reduced) still a good basis?
