David, I honestly can't answer this yet but will when I can. Right now it's an 
apples to oranges comparison. The sql server is a big beefy dedicated server 
and postgres is just running on a VM. Also one is using a geoserver sql view 
and the other a sql server native view.

But I am lobbying to take a spare server and put xen on it, and a nice beefy VM 
for postgres/postgis and also run geoserver on a linux VM and then I think it 
would be a more fair comparison, and will report back.
