Au contraire --- PG tries its best to be OS-agnostic. I've personally resisted people trying to optimize it by putting in Linux-specific behavior. The above sounds to me like making excuses for a poor OS. (And yes, I will equally much resist any requests to put in Solaris- specific behavior...) regards, tom lane
