There are some issues that the whole idea of a win32 port should bring up. One of them is whether or not postgresql should be rewritten as a multi-threaded app. If postgresql will never be rewritten as a multi-threaded app, then performance under Windows is likely to ALWAYS be slow, since that multi-thread is the preferred model for good performance on W32. note that many Unixes prefer multi-threaded models as well (Solaris comes to mind) so there's the possibility that a multi-threaded postgresql could enjoy better performance on more than just windows. If postgresql IS going to eventually be multi-threaded, then the whole win32 port should probably be delayed until then, since it would solve many of the issues of fork() versus createprocess(). Just my thoughts on it. Scott
