Yeah, but in one of the previous posts the OP posted this:
relname | relpages | reltuples
-------------+----------+-------------
poi_all_new | 2421133 | 6.53328e+06
which means the table has ~ 19GB for 6.5 million rows, so it's like
2.8GB per 1 million of rows, i.e. ~3kB per row. I've been working with 1
million rows and 1.3GB of data, so it's like 50% of the expected amount.
But this does not explain why the SELECT COUNT(*) takes 364 seconds on
that machine. That'd mean ~8MB/s.
Regarding the indexes, the the OP already posted a description of the
table and apparently there are these indexes:
Indexes:
"poi_all_new_pk" PRIMARY KEY, btree (ogc_fid)
"poi_all_new_flname_idx" btree (flname)
"poi_all_new_geom_idx" btree (wkb_geometry)
"poi_all_new_ogc_fid_idx" btree (ogc_fid)
"poi_all_new_pinyin_idx" btree (pinyin)
So none of them is GIN/GIST although some one of them is on the geometry
column.
