Toss in the added benifit of not having to reboot your database server every couple of hours, and it's a no-brainer. Probably shouldn't be telling everyone this, but I make good money transitioning Access and MSSQL systems to Postgres. I typically see between 1.5 and 2 times the performance with Postgres on the same hardware (with proper tuning of the OS). There's just no good reason for a database server to waste cycles and ram running a gui desktop environment. - -- Andrew G.
