Greetings -

We have Postgres (database) installed on two OSF/1 systems here, one 
being a 3000/300 LX with 32 MB memory running OSF v1.3 (which I think has a 
100 MHz CPU), the other being a 2000 4/233 with 128 MB memory running OSF 
v3.2. We've just installed Postgres on the 2000.

We've experienced severe performance problems with Postgres on the 
2000 which occur when doing searches (and may occur on other actions as well). 
The system is running at least 5 times slower than the equivalent search on the 
3000. The search uses the regexp library. The problem doesn't appear if we copy 
the binaries from the 3000, rather than those built on the 2000.
Note that these problems are with Postgres -- the 2000 is humming 
along nicely while the search goes on.

Build details are:
	2000 : Postgres v4.2 built using OSF v3.2 cc
	3000 : Postgres v4.2 built using either OSF v1.3 cc or GCC v2.5.8

My question is: is there a known problem with the regexp library 
supplied with OSF v3.2?

Thanks for any and all assistance ...
