Thanks for reply Tom and Igor.
Just only more information:I need to know the height of a B-tree index (level of the leaf node farthest from the root).
I tried to find this data in PG_INDEXES and PG_CLASS views, but I did not find it.
Does anyone know if Postgresql stores this information, referring to the height of the index tree?
Regards

I was just about to ask you about that. If this is under a Gather node,
I believe that the numbers include time expended in all processes.
So if you had three or more workers these results would make sense.
