if your clients are connecting, executing a read, then disconnecting
100s of times per second, maybe you're eating up all the available
'close_wait' states in your OS.

you might try a connection pool, such as pgbouncer. pgbouncer would
open some fixed number of database connections, perhaps 50 or so, and
your clients would connect to pgbounce to get a connection from the
pool, use it, then release it.
