Seriously, this (the RAM amount) _is_ all the difference. (You don't say how
much RAM is in your Mac, but something tells me it's not 16GB.) If you install
8.2.4 on your server, there's no reason why the query you pasted shouldn't be
at least as fast as on 8.0.

Yes, the documentation contains one.
