The actual ordering is only a tiny part of the full cost. Why it takes time probably depends on your hardware in relation to database size. I guess the database doesn't fit in ram? What settings have you changed? Clustering users on country_ranking_user_idx would probably help for this specific case, but if it is a good idea depends on what other queries need to be fast. If the table or indexes are bloated then clustering on any index or doing reindex might do it. /Michael -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
