Oh, good call! I totally forgot I did this (years ago): Indexes: "dspam_token_data_uid_key" UNIQUE, btree (uid, token) CLUSTER Doing that on a large installation already in existence would be rather painful though (it reorders the entire table on disk!). It's probably best to do that after the initial training and then have it updated by a daily job (could be the purge job, after vacuuming), that should have significantly less impact. Don't take my word for it, my installation is rather small (home server) - if someone with a "big" installation (a matter of perspective of course) and opportunity to experiment could confirm this makes a difference, great!
