I'm not sure if it was in 7.3 or 7.4 where the index bloat problem was solved. Try to see if just reindexing will help your performance. Also, run a plain vacuum at least nightly so that your table size stays reasonable. It won't take much time on a table with only 50k rows in it. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
