Re: [Dbdpg-general] benchmarking old Pg and DBD::Pg

Greg,

just re-run my tests with freshly compiled PostgreSQL 8.0.2 (congrats
on release, btw)

DBD:Pg 1.32 - fast
DBD:Pg 1.40 - slooow and buggy, won't work w/o patching
DBD:Pg 1.41 - fast
DBD:Pg 1.41 patched - fast

the patch I've applied in last test:
