To avoid unnecessary cycles being spent on loading the profile 
after session authorization, we could have a GUC as was 
suggested to turn the feature on or off. This mirrors Oracle, 
where you have to set RESOURCE_LIMIT in your init[SID].ora file 
before PROFILEs are enforced. Some people like sticking 
everything in postgresql.conf though, including resource limits. 
I'm not sure how remote administration is supposed to work under 
such a scenario though...
