Hi,
We have a BaseX database of 3.2 MB size with 146,036,090 nodes on 451,124 documents Executing a simple query that returns only 4 elements is taking 6 seconds to run. Here is the execution plan: Optimized Query: *:entity Query: entity Result: - Hit(s): 4 Items - Updated: 0 Items - Printed: 549 b - Read Locking: deterioroTest - Write Locking: (none) Timing: -
