I'm not sure if I have the code anymore (it was under 7.4 or 8.0), but it was largely scanning through ~2 million rows once, noting differences from the previous rows as it went. In that case, I didn't benchmark against any of the other PL/* languages, but it was pretty clear that even on a pretty speedy Opteron, it was CPU bound, which it really shouldn't have been. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/
