Specifically, both autovacuum and unicode support is fixed in 8.1. Along
with other things, of course , but those are the two big ones biting
win32 people in 8.0.
(IIRC nothing specific done for win32 regarding performance since 8.0.x,
for example - but it was done in one of the early 8.0.x releases)
