Hello Why is Postgres so slow on Windows compared to linux? Can I do something to match the performance? I have 2 servers: - one is Windows 8, CPU XEON, 8 CORES, 32G of RAM - my test query runs in 17 seconds - the other is Linux CPU XEON, 4 cores, 4 Gh of RAM - my test query runs in 2 seconds I run the query on the same database. CPU is not used at max on the servers, RAM is fine. Is there a problem with Windows? My gues is that Windows is not using the hardware resources as it should be. Can I do something to fix this? Thank you. More details would be helpful: - PG version - PG config on both servers - Actual query you are using Regards, Igor Neyman
