[clue-talk] Any linux package specialists out there?

[David Rudder]

Don't take me as a scientific case at all. It's entirely possible that I 
had it configured wrong. My test machine is low on memory, so it's 
possible that it would run faster with more memory. Plus, PG's weak spot 
is, IIRC, connection setup and teardown, but I use a connection pool so 
I don't do many connections.

There's another reason I use PG above HSQL that I didn't bring up 
before. I have a friend that's a contributor to postgres :) He gives me 
free help if use PG and buy him beer occasionally.
