Well, if you're trying to identify the speed of the join itself and not how long it takes to provide the input for it, that seems like a sensible calculation to make. > Here is another plan I have for the same TPC-H 18 query with different > configuration parameters (shared_buffers set to 400MB, just for experimental > purposes) and HashJoin seems to take longer time (at least 155.58s based on > above calculation): Yeah, that seems to work out to about 25us per row instead of 3us, which is a lot slower. Maybe the hash got split up into multiple batches ... what have you got work_mem set to? Try turning on log_temp_files and see if it records any temp files as getting created. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
