Hmm, I suspect you pushed it into the realm where it's doing actual I/O ... which we don't want for this particular test. (Although it's worth noting that if your query *is* doing actual I/O, the EXPLAIN overhead certainly ought to be down in the noise.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
