Hello,
    I can't remeber which version I actually ran it on, but I *think* it
was 7.1, but it was my own build of PostgreSQL using cygwin 1.3.x (probably
1.3.1). I can't remeber actually how long it took (I tended to leave it on
over night). As a rough estimate I'd say 2 hours.
Hope this helps,
- Stuart

I have never run the regression test on Windows 9X/Me, but I have
run it many times on Windows NT 4.0/2000.  Even on a relatively slow
machine (PII 350 MHz), the regression test took less than 10 minutes.
Although Cygwin performance under 9X/Me is worse than NT/2000, I would
be surprised (and disappointed) if the regression test took 2 hours.
But, I thought that the regression test alway hung under 9X/Me, so in
reality it takes forever. :,)
