ok, I've been in crunching profile profile graphs, and so far have been
only been able to draw following conclusions.

For bulk, 'in-transaction' insert:
1. win32 is slower than linux. win32 time for each insert grows with #
inserts in xact, linux does not (or grows much slower). Win32 starts
out about 3x slower and grows to 10x slower after 250k inserts.

2. ran a 50k profile vs. 250k profile. Nothing jumps out as being
slower or faster: most time is spent in yyparse on either side. From
this my preliminary conclusion is that there is something going on in
the win32 api which is not showing in the profile.

3. The mingw gprof cumulative seconds does not show measurable growth in
cpu time/insert in 50k/250k profile.

I'm now talking suggestions about where to look for performance problems
:(.
