Hi,

I have an index on the user_id field in the query below:

   myuser=# delete from clients where user_id like '64.22.91.%';
   DELETE 22
   Time: 220324.975 ms

Is there any reason why it's taking 220 seconds to run this simple
query? There are about 3 million rows in this table.

First guess is that it's not using the index. What does
 EXPLAIN ANALYSE SELECT user_id FROM clients WHERE user_id LIKE '...'
show?

Check the list archives for locale and like and text_pattern_ops too - that's a good place to check.
