It should be noted that the benchmark Terry is describing fires up N concurrent backends and then measures the runtime for a specific query workload. So it's not measuring connection startup time, which is alleged by some to be Cygwin's weak spot. Nonetheless, I invite the Postgres-on-Cygwin-isn't-worth-our-time camp to produce some benchmarks supporting their position. I'm getting tired of reading unsubstantiated assertions. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
