Only if you're prepared to trust the results of one experiment on one platform with a not-very-large amount of data. Otherwise it's going to take quite a few minutes ... The real problem we are facing with a whole lot of our optimization issues (not only sorting) is that it's not all that trivial to get credible experimental results that we can expect will hold up across a range of usage scenarios. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
