Comment(by robe):

 Ravi,

 Okay that seems to agree with around what I am getting for that address.
 I get 19 seconds for no limit and 18 seconds for limit. But the address it
 returns is completely wrong.  I'll put in a separate ticket for this.  I
 think it might be the Astoria throwing it off.

 since if I run this:

 {{{
 select pprint_addy(addy), ST_AsText(geomout), rating FROM geocode('2601
 24TH AVE,  NY 111022337',2);

 -- it returns this:
 0 24th Ave, New York, NY 11102  POINT(-73.9184479285714 40.7744440102041)
 15
 }}}
 Which is much more accurate.

 If I reverse geocode:

 {{{
 -- answer tiger geocoder is returning (with Astoria)
 SELECT pprint_addy(addy[1]),  array_to_string(street, '|') from
 reverse_geocode('POINT(-73.9750505 40.613036)', true) As g;

 --
 6148 24th Ave, NY 11204 1404 - 1416 Dahill Rd|2301 - 2399 62nd St

 }}}

 -- to rule out a tiger data issue, I reverse geocoded what google returns.
 -- though the place seems suspiciously missing, thought that could be a
 reverse geocode issue.

 {{{
 SELECT pprint_addy(addy[1]),  array_to_string(street, '|') As
 cross_streets from reverse_geocode('POINT(-73.918402 40.774441)', true) As
 g;
 ---
 2607 24th Ave, NY 11102 2301 - 2399 26th St|2300 - 2398 27th St
 }}}
