Turned out that the go-faster switch had literally been turned off. In those days it was on the front of the box and marked "Turbo". I wonder what happened to them?

They complained that ALTER SYSTEM SET go_faster=TRUE; was an illegal option. Cheers, APC Everybody knows it’s an underscore parameter: _GO_FASTER
