Yeap. All the time you would need to connect to postgresql you will
have the overhead of tcp connection establishment as well as the
overhead of postgresql authentication.

I don't know how much this is in time, but you can give it a try with
some tests which opens a connection, do a simple query like select
version() and close it.

I think you could see something like 2 or 3 times slower than with the
pool enabled.
