only vaguely: increasing ts_interval_start_time implies increasing ts_id
but there may be many rows (100,000's) with the same ts_interval_start_time

it looks like there are fewer rows backwards than forwards:
cemdb=> select count(*) from ts_stats_transet_user_interval where
ts_interval_start_time < '2009-6-16 01:00';
count
----------
32100000
(1 row)
cemdb=> select count(*) from ts_stats_transet_user_interval where
ts_interval_start_time >= '2009-6-16 02:00';
count
----------
13500000
(1 row)

there is an index. I mentioned this in my orginal posting.
