Yes, the c extension is much better, not perfect though.

When you have a look at Og (get 0.40 via rubygems), you'll see that a few
things have to be done to make the -pr more compatible to the c ext.

og/lib/og/adapter/postgresql/override.rb

I think it was Neumann who made the postgres-pr wrapper, which is a thin
layer around the dbi lib as far as I remember, it is pure Ruby, no C
involved.
