What is measured by the \timing option? The figures reported are slightly larger than those loged when the log_duration parameter is true. => select count(*) from foo; count -------- 362921 (1 row) Time: 5500.88 ms while in syslog, the timing was "LOG: duration: 5.499783 sec". There is a difference of 1.097 ms. In both cases what is this duration? Real time or CPU time? -- %!PS 297.6 420.9 translate 90 rotate 0 setgray gsave 0 1 1{pop 0 180 moveto 100 180 170 100 170 -10 curveto 180 -9 180 -9 190 -10 curveto 190 100 100 180 0 180 curveto fill 180 rotate}for grestore/Bookman-LightItalic findfont 240 scalefont setfont -151.536392 -63.7998886 moveto (bp)show showpage ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
