Part of the problem may be the connection penalty on Windows. Since
PostgreSQL is a processed based database (mySQL is threaded I believe)
it is expensive (resource wise) to fire a bunch of connections.

You may be able to get similar performance if you were to use pconnect
or connection pooling with PHP and PostgreSQL.
