Thanks a lot!

It now works at an acceptable speed, but the problem was that I forgot to 
add an index over a column I was querying :-). 

In this particular experience (dynamically classifying around 30 features), 
the difference between classifying on Postgres v/s on Mapserver isn't particularly 
noticeable. 

>From 100 runs:

On Postgres:

min: 1.0 sec.
max: 1.47 sec.
avg: 1.26 sec.

On Mapserver:

min: 0.8 sec.
max: 1.65 sec.
avg: 1.32 sec.

I'll be soon adding more features to the dynamic classification, I'll
see then if the difference grows...
