Re: postgresql under Windows is slow

    Try using NT. I use 98 for development but it just drops the ball to
much for me to consider it for production (I've never had the regression
tests complete on 98, mind you I havn't tried particularly hard either). If
there is anyplace I would expect performance difference it would be in
connection times due to windows forking (or lack there of).
Cheers,
