The time taken parsing the query is insignificant compared to the time planning. Not sure if it's exactly what you're getting at, but SQL Server has a "USE PLAN" hint that lets you set the entire query plan (using an XML string). PostgreSQL's policy is strongly against hints, so we're unlikely to see anything like that in Postgres.

I was purely talking about "pre-compiling" the queries themselves, so it would only effect parsing, not planning. I have no trouble at all believing that this would be a totally negligible improvement.
