Re: psql performance

I am not sure if this is relevant, but I think it may depend on what
kind of shell you are using. I use putty on windows XP, and it seemed
to me that when I had the encoding set to Latin-1, it always pasted very
fast, but when I had it set to UTF8, the paste would be slow. I
concluded (perhaps wrongly--I have not tested much) that putty goes much
slower when using UTF8.

Have you confirmed that psql is at fault, and not your shell? (I.e.,
try pasting directly to the shell--hopefully your query doesn't start
with rm -rf / : )
