Performance problem on RH7.1 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi All,
I've a problem with the perfprmance of the production environment.
I've two db servers. One on my laptop computer (2Ghz, 1GB, WinXP, Cygwin,
Postgres 7.3.4) and one on a production server (2GHz, 1GB, Ultra SCSI,
RH7.1, Postgres 7.3.2).

I run the same dump and the same query on both of the computers. The
difference is substantial.
The query takes 5 times longer on the production server then on the laptop.

What can be the reason? Could anybody suggest me something?
Thakn you in advance.

Best regards,

The query:
----------

getupquantity, minstock,
  (select count(*) from t_prices where t_prices.productid=t_products.id) as

  round(get_stock_getup(id,1)::numeric,2) as stockg,

  (select get_order_getup(id)) as deliverygetup,
  (select (select deliverydate from t_orders where id=orderid) as

   from t_orderdetails
   where productid=t_products.id and
         not (select delivered from t_orders where id=orderid) limit 1) as

  (select abbrev from t_getups where id=getupid) as getup
