first, check to see what your max throughput on your disk is using a
benchmark such as Bonnie (Making sure to use a size LARGER than phsyical
memory. 2x physical is veyr optimial).
next, run your query again with a vmstat 1 running in another term.
See how close the vmstat "bi" numbers correspond to your max according to
bonnie. You could have an IO bottleneck. (I once went running around
trying to figure it out and then discovered the issue was IO).
