The only thought that comes to mind is that multibyte character sets are supported in 7.3 whereas they were optional (and not default) in 7.2. I'd not have expected a factor-of-150 performance hit from that, though. Could you rebuild your backend with profiling enabled and get a gprof summary of where the time is going? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
