I just finished testing Postgres, MYSQL, and MSSQL on my machine (2 gigs
internal XP).
I have adjusted the postgres config to what I think is an ok place and have
mysql default and mssql default.
Using Aqua studio a program that hooks to all three I have found:
Initial exec Second exec Returning 331,640 records on all 3 database
MSSQL 468ms 16ms 2 mins 3 secs
MYSQL 14531ms 6625ms 2 mins 42 secs
Postgr 52120ms 11702ms 2 mins 15 secs
Not sure if this proves your point on PGadmin versus MYSQL query tool versus
MSSQL Query tool, but it certainly seems encouraging.
I am going to visit Josh's tests he wanted me to run on the LINUX server.
