I've heard anecdotal reports both ways: "there's no difference" and "there's a big difference". So there's no substitute for benchmarking your own application. I think one big variable in this is which PG version you are testing. We've been gradually filing down some of the rough edges in the native Windows port, so I'd expect that the performance gap is closing over time. I don't know how close to closed it is in 8.2, but I'd surely suggest that you do your benchmarking with 8.2. regards, tom lane
