Hi,
please put your test results on a web page so that everyone who is
interested can look them up and everyone who is not interested does not have
to pay for receiving such a long mail.

You are using different versions of postgresql?
Did you set up the three systems with the same partitioning or did you set
up all three on one harddrive?
What is the meaning of this email: regarding your test FreeBSD is not as
fast as the other OSes - so what do you want to know? I do not get it.
