I created a partial index (didn't know such a thing existed until yesterday) to speed up the computation of the home page:
CREATE INDEX journals_latest_releases ON journals(submitted_date, name, version) WHERE version IS NOT NULL AND action='new release'; and reworked the query to let postgres actually use that index; now I can get the Cheeseshop home page as fast as that of www.python.org (namely, in 0.1s), as measured by start=time.time();x=urllib.urlopen("http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi").read();print time.time()-start Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
