Re: Low disk performance?

Hi, what is the size of the table and index (in terms of pages and
tuples)? Try something like

SELECT relpages, reltuples FROM pg_class WHERE relname = 'table or index
name';

And what indexes have you created? It seems to me there's just index on
the variable_id. It might be useful to create index on (variable_id, ts)
or even (variable_id, ts, good_through).
