What I did was to open and close the connection 1000 times and take the average response time for this operation. No DB queries were involved. I have 1 GB RAM, there is also no swapping involved. It just seems that the connection pooling is still much slower in Oracle than in SQL Server (about 5 times) and I would like to know why...
