So, the GiN version seems to be a bit faster for long queries, but it's still
too slow -- in fact, _unindexed_ versions give 141ms, 342ms, 725ms for these
three queries, so for the longer queries, the gain is only about a factor
two. (By the way, I would like to stress that this is not my personal music
collection! :-P)
