I would advise against making Pg 9.3 the default right now.  The
performance problem exposed by Pg's switch from SysV SHM to mmap are
quite significant, and the effect gets worse as things like eg. the size
of work mem are increased -- so big Pg installations will get hit harder
than small ones.

There is definitely a problem from the FreeBSD side, which I believe
Attilio is working on.  But any fixes he comes up with are going to take
some time to percolate into general release.  It's not clear to me if
the Pg code is doing anything "wrong" or not -- that would be good to
establish.  Also, if there is any sort of work-around that could be
applied to the FreeBSD port of Pg 9.3 (and presumably 9.4 et seq.) to
mitigate the problem.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
