Hello Yugo-san,

TState has a field called "conn_duration" and this is, the comment says,
"cumulated connection and deconnection delays". This value is summed over
threads and reported as "average connection time" under -C/--connect.
If this options is not specified, the value is never used.

Yep.

However, I found that conn_duration is calculated even when -C/--connect
is not specified, which is waste. SO we can remove this code as fixed in
the attached patch.

I'm fine with the implied code simplification, but it deserves a comment.

In addition, deconnection delays are not cumulated even under -C/--connect
in spite of mentioned in the comment. I also fixed this in the attached patch.

I'm fine with that, even if it only concerns is_connect. I've updated the command to work whether now is initially set or not. I'm unsure whether closing a pg connection actually waits for anything, so probably the impact is rather small anyway. It cannot be usefully measured when !is_connect, because thread do that when then feel like it, whereas on connection we can use barriers to have something which makes sense.

Also, there is the issue of connection failures: the attached version adds an error message and exit for initial connections consistently. This is not done with is_connect, though, and I'm unsure what we should really do.
