    Oh.  In my hands, it works very well.  I get 70 seconds to do the

    How much RAM do you have?  Maybe you don't have enough to hold
    the table in RAM. What kind of IO system?  And what OS?

    On my test system:

    RAM: 4GB
    IO: SSD (random_page_cost = 1.0)
    OS: Ubuntu 16.04



4GB is not much RAM to be trying to pre-warm this amount of data into. Towards the end of the pg_prewarm, it is probably evicting data read in by the earlier part of it.

What is shared_buffers?

942MB.

But I see where you are coming from. How come that these queries need a Recheck Cond? I gather that this would require reading not only the index data but also the table itself which could be huge, right?
