Are we still going to subtract out the gettimeofday overhead? I was always more excited about that than the sampling aspect. I've run into queries where EXPLAIN ANALYZE results were deceptive due to the gettimeofday overhead but I've never run into a query where gettimeofday overhead made running the query under EXPLAIN ANALYZE impractical. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
