Wow, I can reproduce this (11-12 secs when no TZ versus 5 when TZ is defined). I'd never noticed because I normally have TZ set; but yes I agree that this is worthwhile. I notice that most of the difference is system time ... I imagine we do a lot of syscalls to guess the timezone. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
