1.No "foto"                     -both quick but still a noticeable difference between them 2ms
develoment - 30ms server
2. psql + "foto"                -both quick really, they are about 70ms, not bad giving that
foto are bytea with small png images.
3. QT or WXWindows + "foto"       -slow only one server yes.

After the vacuum full verbose and reindex still the same problem (i had tried
the vacuum before).

1- The same in the two machines, tcp/ip with localhost.
2- I am exactly the same code in the two machines and the same pgadmin3 version too.
3- Ever the entire result set.
4- I am using es_ES.UTF8 in the two machines

What can be using wxwindows and QT to access postgresql that psql it is not
using, libpq?
