All I have learned from Google and self experience. I run my site (see my signature) on a self managed VPS. I was using the default PGSQL RPM from the fedora repository, the site was getting way slow. So I compiled all the stuff apache, php and postgresql with custom gcc flags, which improved performance like hell. This may not apply to all, its my experience; not an illusion because I asked other site contributors also about the speed, they said it was much better. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: nilesh.gr Twitter: nileshgr Website: www.itech7.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
