Without the limit node the runtimes (after "priming" the cache) were: 1.805, 2.533 1.805, 2.495 1.800, 2.446 1.818, 2.470 1.804, 2.502 The first time for each run is "Total runtime" reported by EXPLAIN, the second is what psql reported from having \timing on. With the limit node: 3.237, 3.914 3.243, 3.918 3.263, 4.010 3.265, 3.943 3.272, 3.953 I eyeballed that in the console window and said 1.35 based on rough in-my-head calculations, although with it laid out in a nicer format, I think I was a little low. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
