I have avoided installing PostgreSQL on my Mac, as it is not possible to easily remove it, and I really hate to have the "postgres" user on my Mac login window. :-) > I've used PostgreSQL on Windows, too, which works alright overall. > One thing that really harmed performance for me on Windows, though, > was virus scanners and Pointsec, which does full HD encryption -- the > combination of virus scanning every read/write + encryption really > applies the brakes.

I don't have FileVault active, and I really have no issue with performance of PostgreSQL running on the Parallels virtual machine other than for this task. I will try to collect the same log also from our deployment server, that is on a Solaris zone c/o Joyent. I will keep you updated. Thanks for your attention. Best regards, Giulio Cesare
