Just to point out, there was a discussion I can't find right now about fsync and create database optimization earlier this year.

However, if you're both hitting the same db, then the slowness is in the gui tool, not pgsql. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
