As far as I guess, you have not activated the TCP-IP port in postgresql.conf, and if you use host=localhost parameter, pg_connect will try to connect to PostgreSQL via TCP-IP. If you do not use that parameter, then it will connect to the database via Unix domain sockets, which is really faster than TCP-IP sockets (and more secure). HTH.
