A few minutes is extremely unlikely.  You'd have to be doing OFFSET 500000 or 
doing an ad hoc request which needs to make up its own index for a table of a 
few million rows.  If none of your tables are longer than 100000 rows and you 
have half-way decent indexes just don't worry about it.

Don't forget step is spending most of its time doing calculations and accessing 
disk cache.  You're probably not going to save much time if your computer has 
to multitask.

Write your code first.  Run it.  Only then if it's too slow worry about 
optimization.
