+Disabling the PostgreSQL JIT to improve ENUM datatype handling
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Asyncpg has an `issue <https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg/issues/727>`_ when
+using PostgreSQL ENUM datatypes, where upon the creation of new database
+connections, an expensive query may be emitted in order to retrieve metadata
+regarding custom types which has been shown to negatively affect performance.
+To mitigate this issue, the PostgreSQL "jit" setting may be disabled from the
+client using this setting passed to :func:`_asyncio.create_async_engine`::
+
+    engine = create_async_engine(
+        "postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@localhost/tmp",
+        connect_args={"server_settings": {"jit": "off"}},
+    )
