How it could be ADSL problem when it's the same in tow tests ?
beside data transferred when using tunnel is much bigger (about 10KB) than
direct connection (400B)
so it should be slower when using tunnel but the result shows it was faster
!!!!

If that so, why these is not same option in Postgresql, Is it necessary to
use IP tunnel to do that and perform fast fetch?

my server is windows 7

I run the same query on same network connection so I eliminate the
slowness caused by the database query and network fundamentally,
nothing left but postgresql/libpq

not anyone consider there may be a bug when connection to a remote server
over internet in libpq
the only different when I used the tunnel is I connect to localhost
instead of server IP or domain name (I try both)
