*Actually, if you are looking for load balancing PgBouncer is better than
PgPool. There is a nice article about
that.https://www.last.fm/user/Russ/journal/2008/02/21/zd_postgres_connection_pools:_pgpool_vs._pgbouncer

*I used PgBouncer in a few of ny previous positions and found it to be very
fast and efficient.*
