Now I fire up python, do a SELECT * from the table and retrieve all
the data as native objects... Hm, it takes about 1.3 seconds... on my
Pentium-M 1600 laptop...
Don't you have a problem somewhere ? Are you sure it's not swapping
? did you check memory ? Are you transferring all this data over the
network ? Might an obscure cabling problem have reverted your
connection to 10 Mbps ?
I'm sure. Everything is running on the same machine, about 350 MB free memory.
Ouch. I saw you're on Windows so I tried it on the windows machine
there which has a postgres installed, over a 100Mbps network, querying
from my linux laptop. The windows machine is a piece of crap,
Pentium-II 300 and 256 MB Ram, it takes 7 seconds to retrieve the whole
table in a python native object.
It's not the program or Java. The same program takes about 20 seconds with
Firebird and the exactly same data.
