<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:13px">I recently installed PostGIS 2.1.3 on a local PostgreSQL instance (9.3). I imported the countrywide TIGER data set, installed the missing indexes, and ran a vacuum analyze on everything.</span><br style="font-size:13px"><br style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-size:13px">The geocoder is significantly slower than what is reported in the documentation (</span><a href="http://postgis.net/docs/Geocode.html" target="_blank" style="font-size:13px">http://postgis.net/docs/Geocode.html</a><span style="font-size:13px">). The example takes roughly 4 seconds to return a result while the documentation shows ~61ms. There are other addresses which take nearly a minute to geocode. I ran through a batch of 500 addresses to test, and only a handful returned a rating under 20. I am running on Windows 7.</span><div style="font-size:13px"><br clear="all"><div>I have looked through as many similar issues online as I could find. I also changed some of the config settings such as shared_buffer, but the performance increase was negligible. I am out of ideas. Has anyone run into a similar issue and found a solution?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your time!</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><b><font size="4">Brandon M.
