Hi

I'm just trying out MonetDB and I have a performance question. I'm running the software on an 2.6GHz 32-bit XP box with 1GB RAM.

I have created a small collection of 480 documents, approx. 153MB.

Using the console client I run the following query:

for $p in collection("papers")//p
where contains($p, 'wind farm') return($p)

Enabling the timer I see that the query time is 29675 msec. In other words, way too slow to be useful. Clearly there is something fundamentally wrong here.

Any pointers?
