Considering 5 million pairs of long/lat values is a lot, I'd first try to see 
if I can store values in a different field type than a real. Examples:
- integer or longint : multiply by 10^x and remove decimals; depends on the 
number of digits you need to keep (example, Lat,Long=48.862725,2.28759 becomes 
48862725,2287590)
- uuid: no limit about the encoded number, but I don't know if performances are 
better than real
