Thanks, I will add an index(id, yw) and check.
The limit suggestion (yes, I already have a "vacuum"
cronjob to purge spam-users from drupal_users etc.)
doesn't work:
# delete from pref_users
where id not in (select distinct id from pref_money) limit 10;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "limit"
LINE 2: ...ere id not in (select distinct id from pref_money) limit 10;
