All, For anyone who cares the "slowness solution" ended up being an"IPv6" vs "IP4" situation. After I changed con <- dbConnect(drv, host = "localhost", . . . to con <- dbConnect(drv, host = "127.0.0.1" .... the 'connect time went down from 15 seconds to less than 1 second. Then I noticed ... C:\Users\ComputerUser>ping localhost Pinging COMPUTER [::1] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from ::1: time=2ms Reply from ::1: time=2ms Reply from ::1: time=2ms Reply from ::1: time=2ms So i modified the 'hosts' file from C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host from # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost to # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. 127.0.0.1 localhost # ( *** UN-COMMENTED ***** ) # ::1 localhost ( In order to make this change ( as Administrator ) I had to temporarily take off the 'read only flag' on the directory C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.) Then I noticed. C:\Users\ComputerUser>ping localhost Pinging COMPUTER [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Then I tried to startup PostgreSQL again. The startup time went down from 5 minutes to just 7 seconds! THATS COOL!
