Egad :-(
If you are worried about performance, get off 7.1. Even if you are not
worried about performance, get off 7.1. It *will* eat your data someday.
A native Windows build of PG 8.1 will blow the doors off 7.1/cygwin as
to both performance and reliability.
I know little about Windows versions, but I suspect people will tell you
that a newer version of Windows would be a good idea too.
