[pgpool-general: 5587] insanely slow first query, then normal speed

[Jon]

Hi,

When I connect to pgpool on the slave, the first request is insanely slow,
subsequent requests are fast.

Does anyone know why this might be?

Pgpool: 3.6.4, Postgres, 9.6.3

NOTE: it also seems to take a long time to connect to pgpool using psql.. i
seem to remember an older version not having this delay

I've tried:

   - with pool_hba turned on and off - no difference
   - i compiled pgpool (3.6.4) from source - no difference (was using the
   pgdg ubuntu 16.04 binaries before

*The below example showing the first request taking 58000ms! Subsequent
queries take 72ms...*

e.g.

root at db-slave:~# sudo -u postgres psql -h127.0.0.1 -p5433 mydb

sudo: unable to resolve host db-slave

could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied

psql (9.6.3)

Type "help" for help.
