unfortunately I can't give older times...  I could make current times
though if I knew how.  Postgres just _FLEW_ rebuilding the company
database *grin*.
This is Sunday CVS versus Friday CVS + egcs+haifa vs gcc-2.7.2.1

suspect it's an egcs thing mostly - though current postgres is faster than
6.2.1.

I've been following the CVS the entire time - except for about a 1 month
block ending last week :)

I'm just happy it's still up, operational, and fast :)
[egcs in the past usually crashed during the compile... and sometimes
produced unstable results.  so I used gcc-2.7.2.1 as a rule.  Just out of
curiousity I compiled using egcs+haifa which I'd just compiled+installed
and postgres ran beautifully :]
... No special command-line options though BTW.
And I've been glibc-2 since last march.

G'day, eh? :)
