ANALYZE runs in O(N) steps, where N is the number of rows in the table. It does a single scan through each index being analyzed, from beginning to end. CREATE INDEX, on the other hand, requires O(NlogN) steps. ANALYZE is normally fast, but can take significant time on a large (terabyte-sized) database. Earlier this year, we worked on an experimental utility program that does a reasonable approximation of ANALYZE in constant time.
