Hi, Paul
I agree with Oleg, EDB benchmarks are strange sometimes. I did the same benchmarks several months ago. I never noticed the cache influence back then, so I tried to reproduce your situation now (on a 5*10^6 records although). I started to play with db cache (using `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cache`), and I see difference in time execution for two subsequent queries, but `explain` info are almost identical, e.g. `shared hit & read`:
```
benchmark=# explain (buffers, analyze, verbose) select data from json_tables where data @> '{"name": "AC3 Case Red"}';

But I see almost the same execution time from mongodb `explain` (216075ms for pg and 177784ms for mongo, which isn't so much I think):

I not missed anything, am I right? Are you sure that it took much more time for PostgreSQL?
Besides, everything is fine for queries with more small results (while the query {"name": "AC3 Case Red"} is almost 1/10 of entire dataset):
```
=# insert into json_tables values('{"name": "test name"}'::jsonb);
=# explain (buffers, analyze, verbose) select data from json_tables where data @> '{"name": "test name"}';

As far as I know there isn't much to do about caching. I don't know if it's appropriate, but you can manually warm-up the cache (something like `cat /var/lib/postgresql/9.5/main/base/*/* > /dev/null`).
