Not fair, perhaps.
But if you look, you'll see that *Cygwin* PostgreSQL beat most
everything on the Win32 platform except MySQL and Oracle with PL/SQL.
Read further and you'll see that Cygwin PostgreSQL came *really* close
(within 10% or something) to MS-SQL.
Considering that they weren't even running a native version of
PostgreSQL, I think the results were surprisingly *good*.
But yes, we really do want to be the fastest. :-)
