It is true he want to have the first few record quickly and then
continue with the next records. However without LIMIT it already takes a
very long time before the first record is returned.
I reproduced this with a table with 1.1 million records on an XP machine
and in my case it took about 25 seconds before the select returned the
first record. I tried it both interactively with pgAdmin and with a
C-application using a cursor (with hold). Both took about the same time.
That doesn't sound right to me, not for a straigforward SELECT * FROM
where there's no sorting etc.
