Just wondering what version of pgsql you were using, as the in() performance has been greatly improved in the newer versions. What I noticed was that PostgreSQL was better under parallel load than MSSQL server was. Our pgsql 7.2 server would routinely outrun the MSSQL server (This was like 3 years ago) when they were both moderately loaded. Of course, we didn't run a lot of where in () queries on the pgsql server, we re-worked them to favor postgresql's query planner of the time.
