My problem is that I haven't large enough reallife datasets. Picture of syntetic datasets can be unrepresentative on reallife cases. On smaller datasets that I have I actually can compare only index quality. Also, tests with large datasets takes long time especially without fast build. Probably solution is to limit cache size during testing. It should allow to measure I/O benefit even on relatively small datasets. But while I don't know now to do that on Linux. ------ With best regards, Alexander Korotkov.
