Wow, his is amazingly ineffecient, there's a *HUGE* overhead in
creating connections.

Yes, it has to do with stupidity in 8.1.5 that blows up with the
"single statement login" that 8.0 uses.  So we've got some patches
we're tsting that fix it on 8.1.5, but of course don't work on
8.0.5. o there's a huge amount of conditional code :/
