I don't know that anyone's done any serious performance comparisons. My guess is there wouldn't be a noticeable difference, but that's just a guess. The real reason it's not default is portability worries. We do not currently have any fundamental functionality that breaks if you don't have a working int64 datatype, and I'd just as soon not start. I'm not real thrilled with the idea of a platform-dependent default, either. > I'm probably going to add the flag enabling it to the default > buildfarm setup. This should be selected for some buildfarm members but not all, just like other configuration options. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
