The reason I'm asking is that Postgres doesn't perform at its best on

You have to go out of your way to even get >125 connections going on
Windows; see the very last entry at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows
I design socket component suites for developers, on windows, with few
registry tweaks, you are able to have over 50,000 live, hot sockets. On
Linux 2.6 and later, I have yet to hit a serious limit.
Performance wise, your focus will be poor memory paging, so make sure
you have too much RAM, and nothing else running.
