Oof, you have a long memory. Oleg does reference such a thing in his 2002 post that ended up resulting in the TODO item. I can't find the original patch but I doubt any patch against 7.1 is going to be all that helpful in understanding what to do today. I'm also confused how he only saw a factor of 6 improvement in reading the top 100 out of a million. I would expect much better. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
