(fmax-fmin)... min | max | avg ---------+---------+---------------------- 1 | 2278225 | 546 I noticed 3000 occurrences where fmax is less than fmin. I excluded these values to get the min difference between the two. Also, there are 20 "invalid"/"bogus" rows with negative values which were excluded from the queries.

Can you show us min, max, and avg of fmax minus fmin? I'd like to check my guess about that being a fairly narrow range. regards, tom lane
