I have a simple table with Trigram index,

create table mytable(hash char(40), title text);
create index title_trgm_idx on mytable using gin(title gin_trgm_ops);

When I run a query with 10m rows, it uses the Trigram index, but takes
3s to execute, very slow.
(I have 80m rows, but only inserted 10m for testing purpose)

test=# select count(*) from mytable;
  count
----------
 13971887
(1 row)

test=# explain analyze select * from mytable where title ilike 'x264';
                                                              QUERY PLAN

         Index Cond: (title ~~* 'x264'::text)
 Planning time: 0.611 ms
 Execution time: 2937.729 ms
(8 rows)

Any ideas to speed things up?
