I used to think ctid is the same as rowid in Oracle,
where rowid access is the fastest. Is it wrong?
After all, why oid is faster then ctid?

I consider using index of course. I just cannot 
believe it is the best what I can do here.

I played with fresh database.

server version is 8.0.3, enable_tidscan is on,
looks like hints have no effect.

Thanks.
