Obvious overheads in float8 comparison include having to check for NaN, and the fact that DatumGetFloat8 on 64bit doesn't get inlined and forces a store/load to memory rather than just using a register. Looking at those might be more beneficial than messing with abbreviations. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad) -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
