BLCKSZ, in src/include/pg_config_manual.h. I doubt it would make the index faster anyway ... I think you could post the query, schema, and EXPLAIN ANALYZE to pgsql-performance so that people can give you further advice. Going forward, rtree is somewhat obsolete -- maybe try setting up a GiST index instead (not sure if it would be faster than rtree.) -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]surnet.cl>) "God is real, unless declared as int"
