Are there any known regression issues WRT performance on the 8.3.0.1 binary build for windows? And I mean serious -multiple orders of magnitude- performance issues running simple queries on a small database... A little more background. I built 8.3.0 on Cent OS 5 today. Started using it with a server application that I have to do some benchmarking. Java application connecting via jdbc to Postgres on localhost. Everything looked great. Perhaps even faster than 8.2 - but I don't have the benchmarks to say for sure yet. Then, I wanted to test what is usually our fastest performing setup - with the database on a second system. So, I installed the new 8.3 on a Windows 2003 system, started it up, created my database, pointed my java app to it and everything seemed good. Then I put a load on it - and my server thru-put went from about 1500 messages per second on the linux-localhost combination to 30 on the remote windows postgres installation. I will be investigating this much more completely first thing tomorrow - but I figured I'd ask to see if there was something obvious first...
