No, you have a fundamental misconception here. The notation means that the first output row from a plan step was delivered after X milliseconds, and the last row after Y milliseconds. The "gap" you are looking at is the time to do the Sort (since a sort can't deliver the first output row until it's finished the sort). It is gonna take a while to sort 175000 rows ... but possibly increasing sort_mem would help. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
