Hi !
thanks for your answers
My network works correctly, I have no other problems. I can send/receive huge files quickly using the windows file share protocol.
Using psql tool, I have the same results ... very slow traffic ... :(
I measure these time and speeds using my watch and a free network tool : ShowTraffic (Ethereal gives me the same results).
I will try using another switch ...

This could be a DNS related problem, if not the request itself, but the connect, is slow. How did you measure these times and speeds?
