Re: Windows performance

Hello

Why is Postgres so slow on Windows compared to linux?

Can I do something to match the performance?

I have 2 servers:

- one is Windows 8, CPU XEON, 8 CORES,  32G of RAM - my test query runs in 17 seconds

- the other is Linux CPU XEON, 4 cores, 4 Gh of RAM - my test query runs in 2 seconds

I run the query on the same database.

CPU is not used at max on the servers, RAM is fine.

Is there a problem with Windows? My gues is that Windows is not using the hardware resources as it should be.

Can I do something to fix this?

Thank you.

More details would be helpful:

-          PG version

-          PG config on both servers

-          Actual query you are using
