ODBC Driver generates a too big "windows swap file" and it's too slow

Hi List,

   First of all, I tried to subcribe the ODBC list but it seems that the
subscription's link is broken ! So here it goes:

   I have a delphi software use ttable components that converts dbf information
to PostgreSQL an Oracle Databases. My problem is that PostgreSQL is too slow,
the oracle db makes this convertion in 3.45 min and the Pg db makes int 29 min.
   The software is the same ( only the database reference is diferent ) , this
sotware uses BDE to access the database with oracle native driver and using
postgreSQL odbc driver version 5. Both databases are in the same machine (
Pentium 4 1.8Ghz, 384MB RAM DDR ) running RH 9 , Oracle 9i and PostgreSQL 7.3.2-
3.
   When I ran this conversion I "snorted" the communication between the server
and the station to see how it does the sql requests , here it goes:

     So , this snort generated a 3MB file for Oracle and it didn't request a
bigger windows swap file but PostgreSQL generated a 153 MB file and I needed a
700 MB windows swap file ( this is unacceptable !!!! ).
     I tried changing the ttables components to a SQL Query but Pg did it in
49min an Oracle in 29min ( it looks like a index problem but there's no way to
force an index in Pqsql ).
     I don't know whate else to do , and I really want to use PgSQL instead of
Oracle but to do this I must PgSQL working in a compatibile time !
     Any suggestions ?
