Just in case some people don't know.  

PostgreSQL 8.3.8 and 8.4.1 came out last week and while they are mostly
security bug fixes, they do include some speed enhancements.

For 8.4.1 -- "improve performance when processing toasted values in index
scans"

Which fixes the below bug.

(though I guess it wasn't backported to 8.3 since I don't see it listed in
8.3.8 release notes)  

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release-8-4-1.html

For both 8.3.8, 8.4.1 -- has for "Fix Windows shared-memory allocation " 
This bug led to the often-reported "could not reattach to shared memory" 

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/release-8-3-8.html

Hope that helps,
Regina
