Hi John-

I had a question about large result sizes.  For our queries it seems that past 
a point, the size of the result begins to have a large impact on completion 
time.  If our queries do heavy event filtering, fastbit is crazy insane fast!  
Some of our other queries aren't able to filter down as much though, and may 
return 200M rows from a 250M dataset (the dataset has many columns, but we only 
select out 2 long columns, all other columns are for filtering).


So I suppose my question is: is there a way to iterate faster over larger 
results? (we are currently using the table interface /w a cursor).  For example 
 doing a plain select on a pair of longs /w 250M rows in ibis takes almost a 
minute:

time ibis -d . -q "select id1, id2" > /dev/null 2>&1

real    0m48.010s
user    0m44.265s
sys     0m3.761s


Do you have any insight into places we could look to trim down the time /w 
larger results?

Thanks!

Sean
