How does the output of EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN look like? > No, I am not sure. I executed both a few times in the database browser. Both have widely varying used times. But at first glance it looked that without ORDER BY is about 2 times faster. But it is only at first glance, so certainly not something concrete. The explains. I do not really see a difference. There is only an offset difference. I also do not see a sort. (But this is the first time I look at this kind of code.)
