Both servers have identical postgresql.conf settings and were BTW, you'll want to tweak some things between the two .conf files, especially if the 8.1.3 server has more memory. Faster drive array means you probably want to tweak random_page_cost down. Also, 8.1.3 has a lot of new config settings compared to 7.4.x; it'd probably be best to take the default 8.1 config and tweak it, rather than bringing the 7.4 config over. -- Jim C.
