I have not attempted to do a comprehensive comparison, but I do have
some results from always capturing the output of "time" whenever I run
the regression test. AFAICT, 7.4.1 running against cygipc takes about 6
minutes to run, while 7.4.1 running against cygserver takes about 5
minutes on the same machine. An approximately 17% improvement is very
respectable.
Additionally, I presume that Cygwin PostgreSQL should be much more
stable without cygipc (which the original authors admit was a hack at
best). Hopefully, some of the bizarre problems reported over the years
will "go away" and things like PL/Tcl with start to work.
