depends on application. Usually you can use a connection better than just
"insert connection". I am thinking, so it doesn't carry some special - it
remove a connection cost, but nothing more. You can use a more connections
to do paralel inserts - it has a sense.
look on pgpool or other similar sw for connection pooling
