I am doing a `group by` on a table with ~ 3 million rows, the code is simply `select A, B, C, D,E count(1) from t group by A, B, C, D, E order by 6`,  it takes ~ 3 minutes for this operation and there are ~ 500 rows returned. So, to speed this up, should I add a composite index on A, B, C, D, E or there are some parameters in postgresql.conf I can tweak, I am new to postgres, all the parameters in postgresql.conf are the default.
