Paul, I kindly received the information about the table data (quoting here): >It changes as it goes down the table, it's a right mixture.

If indexing starts sequentially from the beginning to the end, we reach ST_Point around row 22.000.000. This is from the count of geometry operations exactly where the slowdown begins. Does this track us to the leak?
