I read the PostgreSQL 8.0 "What's New" page (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/whatsnew) and wasn't sure whether version 8.0 is significantly faster, more scalability, or more stable than versions 7.4? I remember big speed improvements between 7.3 and 7.4. It seems the biggest advantage of version 8.0 is being able to run in Windows. Is that true? Thanks, Si Chen
