What is this, a table for ants? Because that’s the average number of ants in an ant colony and it’s nowhere near an impressive amount of rows to be doing any sort of processing on. It wouldn’t be an impressive amount of rows if your rig was an i386DX-33 running off a 5” floppy.

    Exactly, 60k rows is negligible enough in most cases that you can just treat it as free unless you're doing a cross join on it or something, unless he's doing something like using an unordered text file as his database with no ram or cache
