The extreme similarity of the 4-client numbers seems improbable, from what I know of the two databases.

Any idea how can it be taken down? 7.3 should be a little bit better because of Manfred's work on reducing tuple header size --- if you create your tables WITHOUT OIDS, you should save 8 bytes per row compared to earlier releases. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
