allways be aware that results on Windows may be totally different!
My main customer is running PostgreSQL 8.1 on MINIMUM shared buffers
max_connections = 100 # shared_buffers = 200 # min 16 or max_connections*2, 8KB each
I changed it to this value from the very low default 20000, and the system is responding better; especially after fixing the available memory setting within the planner.
... frustrating part is, I could not replicate this behavious with pg_bench :(
