Assuming I have a vote, I vote to push it forward *unless* there is a
technical objection to code quality, for the following reasons:

1) The benchmark publication strongly benefits the whole PostgreSQL project
and will hopefully lead to expanding our JDBC contributor pool;

2) Since most other DBMSes (including DB2, MySQL and Oracle) have caching
in their drivers this makes PostgreSQL more competitive for Java projects;

3) Not all Java users are using appservers, so it's a useful feature for
those still using JSP and other non-appserver implementations.
