-> Index Scan using idx_l_partkeylineitem000x on lineitem (cost = 0.57..97.65 rows = 26 width = 36)
(current time = 23.615..419.113 rows = 30 loops = 26469)
Index Cond: (l_partkey = part.p_partkey)

According to the documentation, one should multiply the Actual Time by the number of Loops.
That is: 419113 ms -> 419113/1000/60 = 6.9 minutes * 26469 (loops) = 182.6 minutes.

But how does this stretch take 182.6 minutes, if the entire query ran in 66 minutes?

thank you and best regards

Neto,
The time you see there is in ms, so the point (‘.’) you see is the digital point.
So, it is 419.113ms or a little less than half a second (0.419sec).
