I'm currently trying to make a decision on whether to use the Cygwin port of Postgres 7.4 or Postgres 8.0 for a windows installation.  Can someone provide some comparison info from a performance point of view?  I was thinking that the Cygwin port has the overhead of the translation layer, but 8.0 is a newer product and may still have performance issue.  Can anyone comment on this? 
 
Thanks for the help.
