hmm, I have a 900MB Table with 6.500.000 rows, one varchar field
indexed (about 250MB index) running PG 6.5.3 on a dual PII 350
with 512MB RAM.
A query via PHP3 (with a like statement) is processed in about 2
seconds (returning about 500 rows) or 30 seconds when returning
30.000 rows. The number of rows returned depends on the user
input of course.
