With the I < 27 in the first part, the second part doesn't need a
LEAST, so it now reads:

WITH RECURSIVE
Z(Ix, Iy, Cx, Cy, X, Y, I)
AS (   SELECT Ix, Iy, X::float, Y::float, X::float, Y::float, 0   FROM       (SELECT -2.2 + 0.031 * i, i FROM
generate_series(0,101)AS i) AS xgen(x,ix)   CROSS JOIN       (SELECT -1.5 + 0.031 * i, i FROM generate_series(0,101) AS
i)AS ygen(y,iy)   UNION ALL   SELECT Ix, Iy, Cx, Cy, X * X - Y * Y + Cx AS X, Y * X * 2 + Cy, I + 1   FROM Z   WHERE X
*X + Y * Y < 16::float   AND I < 27
 
),
Zt (Ix, Iy, I) AS (   SELECT Ix, Iy, MAX(I) AS I   FROM Z   GROUP BY Iy, Ix   ORDER BY Iy, Ix
)
SELECT array_to_string(   array_agg(       SUBSTRING(' .,,,-----++++%%%%@@@@#### ', GREATEST(I,1), 1)   ),''
)
FROM Zt
GROUP BY Iy
ORDER BY Iy;

That cuts it to 786ms or so on my laptop :)

Cheers,
David.
