True, its not written as a database-comparison-test, but as a
platform-comparison test. As I showed you back then, there where indeed
querytypes faster on the final version (I still have that database of
executed queries on dev and 8.2 rc1), especially after your three
patches. Still, its a pitty that both the general performance and
scalability seem to be worse on these platforms.
Best regards,
Arjen
