I'm using a managed Postgres instance in a well known provider and holy shit, I couldn't believe how slow it is. For small datasets I couldn't notice, but when one of the tables reached 100K rows, queries started to take 5-10 seconds (the same query takes 0.5-0.6 in my standard i5 Dell laptop).

I wasn't expecting blasting speed on the lowest tear, but 10x slower is bonkers.

Laptop SSDs are _shockingly_ fast, and getting equivalent speed from something in a datacenter (where you'll want at least two disks) is pretty expensive. It's so annoying.

To clarify, are you talking about when you buy your own servers, or when you rent from an IaaS provider?
