Hi all.

Is the speed of hash operations stands on the performance of CPU?
Below you can see part from output of explain analyze command

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E7520  @ 1.87GHz

"              ->  Hash  (cost=337389.43..337389.43 rows=3224443 width=34) (actual time=15046.382..15046.382 rows=3225191 loops=1)"
"                    Buckets: 524288  Batches: 1  Memory Usage: 207874kB"

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz

"              ->  Hash  (cost=340758.94..340758.94 rows=3191894 width=34) (actual time=2692.878..2692.878 rows=3192103 loops=1)"

Thanks.

Yes, but the variation is probably not as much as the raw timing in
your example indicates.

A lot of that time was probably spent reading the data off of disk so
that it could hash it.

You should turn track_io_timing on, run "explain (analyze, buffers)
..." and then show the entire explain output, or at least also show
the entries downstream of the Hash node.

Cheers,
