Let us know how you get on.
There are now results for PostGIS 1.4.1 with GEOS 3.2.0 on Windows XP. The effect does also show up here and also affects some other queries (labeled Equals and Union) which were not affected before (on PostGIS 1.4.0 on different platforms). The whole report on this topic may be retrieved at [1,2]. Newly affected cases go to the bottom of the table. The new result on postgis 1.4.1 is on the left side. Mark, is it worth filing a bug on this topic? Is there anything else I may provide? > In other words, I believe that due to differences in the filesystem > and OS architecture that the performance will never be equal.

And did you attempt > to optimise it for server rather than workstation use? The test box was a Win XP Professional which I tried to 'optimise' by disabling all unnecessary services und processes. The OS included all patches but no other software installations (and no antivirus and the like). However, I agree that a workstation edition is not the best OS to run server software at. Anyway, I may be able to run the tests on a Windows server edition. In case this is interesting for you, please drop me a line. Mark, thanks for the insight!
