If I cared about PostgreSQL I would; testing on slow/small machines is a very effective way to keep developers honest, instead of hiding algorithmic sins behind "hit it with enough hardware speed it's not visible" - not visible, that is, until it goes into production with a large job. It's one of the reasons (there are others) I no longer track NetBSD: they've dropped that. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
