Hello Oleg, Everyone, So.. please find attached the results from the same lowlevel program as the last run. I changed the psycopg2 to use the gmpy.mpq types as opposed to the Decimal type. I also (of course) had to hack col.py to use gmpy.mpq's instead of Decimal..

The entire program finished in roughly 1/8th of the time. True, memory consumption went from around 880mb for 220k objects upto 1.4gb for the same 220k objects. However, look at that speed gain. It's insane. So.. urm.. yeah. I honestly don't know what to say.. anyone else interested in an 8 fold speed improvement ? ;) Regards Stef Oleg Broytmann wrote: > On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 09:37:56PM -0400, Stef Telford wrote: > >> Here is the output from the lowlevel connection select as you >> suggested above (mostly) ordered by internal time.
