I was using a journal iterator to search from the newest journal entry backwards for a matching field, using SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_BACKWARDS. This appears to be pretty slow but journalctl is really fast. I went looking and found sd_journal_query_unique() (although I'm not 100% positive this is why journalctl is faster).
Looking at http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd_journal_query_unique.html there isn't any mention of ordering or direction. Is this search finding journal entries that are newest to oldest or???
