That's quite a different case. When splitting a multi insert statement
you're going to duplicate some work, e.g. executor initialization and
possibly even planning. But when replacing one Query packet with
Parse-Bind-Exec-Sync, these 4 packets are not duplicating such
expensive work. The only thing they should be doing extra is a bit of
packet parsing, which is very cheap.
