I don't know what "event sinks" are, but pipelining was invented for
more performance (at the cost of higher complexity). The performance
gain comes from shoving more data down the wire without sitting around
waiting for a response. If all the responses come back successful,
then you've gotten the data across faster. Unless, of course, the
implementation is broken. Disabling pipelining means you have a
"send-and-wait" protocol. The performance difference all depends on
the latency in the network.

Earlier I tried testing a hypothesis, and got this back :

It looks like you need to fix your postmaster address.
