No, it should not: it all depends on your data, SQL statements and
setup.
In my own experiments, with small amounts of stored data, PostgreSQL
beats Greenplum, which doesn't surprise me a bit.
You need to know where most of the execution time goes -- maybe to
sorting? And sorting in Greenplum, isn't it done on one machine, the
master host? Why would that be faster than in PostgreSQL?

| For other queries though, results are satisfactory or at least comparable,
| like-
|
| select distinct so_no, serial_no from observation_all;
| in postgres it takes - 1404.238 ms
| in gp it takes - 1217.283 ms
No surprise here: the data is picked by multiple segment hosts and
never sorted on the master.
