I think what really happened here is that the data was all cached in the second test, because the first test read it all in already. You need to test both cases (cached and not) to get a clearer picture of what you're doing. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
