I should have added that this is running across a 100M LAN to an Ubuntu server running PostgreSQL 8.4.4. The client is a Win7 system on Python 2.6.5. SA is version 0.6.3.

The little diddly below is comparing performance of orm access vs sql
expression language.

When I run it with number=1 I get a 5.8x advantage for sql. When I run
it 10 times I get a 2.7x advantage. The actual numbers are, respectively:

1.47375132
0.25630808

5.45569524
1.96911144

Is this a typical/expected difference in performance between the two
query methods?

def timing1():

recs = sess.query(dm.Dealer).order_by('name').all()

def timing2():

dealers = dm.Dealer.__table__
recs = engine.execute(select([dealers], order_by='name')).fetchall()

print t.timeit(number=1)

timing()
