Does session startup/shutdown depend on tables used in query? Some simpler
query:

time psql  -c 'explain analyze SELECT te.idt FROM t_positions AS te    WHERE
te.idtr IN (347186)'

                                                             QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
 Index Scan using tg_transelem_index1 on tg_transelem te  (cost=0.00..8.43
rows=3 width=4) (actual time=0.130..0.134 rows=3 loops=1)
   Index Cond: (tr_idtrans = 347186)
 Total runtime: 0.211 ms


real    0m0.017s
user    0m0.002s
sys     0m0.004s
