That's bizarre ... I'd have thought a very long line would be more
likely to trigger internal performance problems than the original.
What happens if you read the file with "psql -f dump.sql" instead
of cat/stdin?
BTW, I get flat times for your psql test case on Unix, again both with
local and remote client. So whatever is going on here, it's
Windows-specific.
