This is really hard to believe --- I cannot think of any mechanism that would result in that effect. Unless the vacuum were flushing the kernel's disk cache, but the effects of that would only persist for one scan. You did say that the increased time is repeatable if you do multiple seqscans after the vacuum? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
