600 mhz p3: 70 ms, 1100 ms slow case
1600 mhz p4: 10-30ms (mysql timer not very precise) 710ms slow case
quad opteron 865: 0 :-)
dual p3 1133 Mhz xeon, mysql 4.0.16: 500 ms
using steinar's 'substitute group by' for pg I get 40ms on the p3 and
low times on all else. your time of 150 ms is looking like the slow
case on my results.
