Ah, thanks for the tip.  I'll go try that.

My previous run was on a cloud instance, I don't have access to a SSD
with this amount of latency locally.

One thing that was standing on is the bloom bitmap case that was
looking really nice for a large number of rows, so I have applied
this part.  The rest is going to need a bit more testing to build more
confidence, as far as I can see.
