Hi, everybody!

Running the same query on pg 8.2 through EXPLAIN ANALYZE takes 4x-10x time as 
running it without it.
Is it ok?


Example:

testing=> select count(*) from auth_user;
  count  
---------
 2575675
(1 row)

Time: 1450,829 ms
testing=> explain analyze select count(*) from auth_user;
                                                         QUERY PLAN             
                                            
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Aggregate  (cost=89814.87..89814.88 rows=1 width=0) (actual 
time=18460.436..18460.439 rows=1 loops=1)
   ->  Seq Scan on auth_user  (cost=0.00..83373.89 rows=2576389 width=0) 
(actual time=0.424..9871.520 rows=2575675 loops=1)
 Total runtime: 18460.535 ms
(3 rows)

Time: 18461,194 ms

TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
