Hallo!
Thanks a lot to You Tom. I stared only at the user and the system time.
I didn't found any C-function, with wich I could measure the whole time,
so I used getrusage(). I did not recognize, that the whole time is
reduced, because the User time is increased.
Could that anybody explain to me? Why is the usertime increased and the
whole time is decreased?
#
Anyway ..
Thanks all a lot for Your effort.
I will now tune my radiology-database further...
Thankful Greetings
David

How you figure that?

9.44 vs 11.14 seconds looks like a clear advantage for the second query
to me...
