firebird X postgresql 8.1.2 windows, performance comparison - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hello,
A friend asked for help to accelerate some postgresql queries on postgresql
8.1.2 for windows.
He is comparing with firebird.
Firebird was being up to 90 times faster at some queries.
Attached is a gziped text file containing some steps I tried on a simple
example query.
Could get improvements from 270 seconds to 74 seconds.
But Firebird effortlessly still can perform the same query at 20 seconds.
Please, do you have some suggestion?
Thanks.
Andre Felipe Machado
