I ran another test with a simple table generated with:
CREATE TABLE pointtest (p point);
INSERT INTO pointtest SELECT point(random(), random()) FROM
generate_series(1,50000000);
Generating a gist index with:
CREATE INDEX i_pointtest ON pointtest USING gist (p);
took about 15 hours without the patch, and 2 hours with it. That's quite
dramatic.
