Hi Paul,

Please feel free to add more: I think it's that we're doing something 
strange with palloc/pfree/TOAST, maybe casting, or it's something in the 
PostgreSQL index AM. Do you have any success with profiling under OS X? 
If so, it would be good to get at least a working profile output of both 
query cases, so we can try and determine where the time is being 
swallowed during the index scan.


ATB,

Mark.
