I did some benchmarking and in my setup there was major
performance difference.
I tested a ByteA column.
If I used ascii data the tests took 52 seconds.
If I used random binary data the test took 250 seconds.
binary data is (roughly) five times slower than ascii data?
Is this a know fact, or is there something wrong with my benchmark?
I used Python and psycopg2.
