I am updating from 7.4.5 to 8.2.3. I have noticed a significant slowdown in simple searches such as "select filename from vnmr_data where seqfil = 'sems';" This returns 12 rows out of 1 million items in the table. On 7.4.5, this takes about 1.5 seconds. On 8.2.3, it is taking about 9 seconds. I have played with different values of: work_mem, temp_buffers, shared_buffers and effective_cache_size and none of them make any difference. I am running on redhat Linux 4 64bit. Any ideas? Glenn
