even worse, we have to port our application to Windows and it should
run under W95..XP on different hardware (PII ...). It'll run in
single-user environment (thank goodness). Database will have about
20-30 K rows.

Did you make some special tuning ? btw, what's about locale support ?

Ugh. Why pay for an OS these days? The free ones are getting too good.
It's amazing how entrenched Windows is.

It was a very quick, seat of the pants test. I made a junk schema with
some insert statements. I noticed that it took a few seconds longer to
finish on Windows than in NetBSD. Didn't do anything more than that. Don't
know about locale stuff, I never have to change that stuff...
