[postgis-users] raster loading and ST_Value performance

Biggest tiles = longer to load in memory and less efficient indexing

I suggest you experiment with much smaller tiles: 100x100 and 10x10

If your rasters are all of the same size and cover the same footprint I would suggest to make them different bands of the same raster. So for the same point you will search for the right tile only once.
