4.8) My queries are slow or don't make use of the indexes. Why?
Indexes are not automatically used by every query. Indexes are only
used if the table is larger than a minimum size, and the index selects
used if the table is larger than a minimum size, and the query selects
only a small percentage of the rows in the table. This is because the
random disk access caused by an index scan is sometimes slower than a
straight read through the table, or sequential scan.
