The table is clustered by by blog_id.
So, for testing purpose, i tried an ORDER BY blog_id.
limit 500 :
-------------
explain analyze SELECT *
FROM _article
WHERE (_article.bitfield && getbit(0))
ORDER BY _article.blog_id ASC
LIMIT 500;
Limit (cost=66229.90..66231.15 rows=500 width=1099) (actual
time=9.368..9.580 rows=500 loops=1)
-> Sort (cost=66229.90..66273.25 rows=17341 width=1099) (actual
time=9.367..9.443 rows=500 loops=1)
Sort Key: blog_id
Sort Method: top-N heapsort Memory: 660kB
