It’s very cool, but at high throughput you really see the difference. This bitmap scan can take huge amounts of cpu, reduced to nothing (and much faster) when setting up a proper multi column index.

On small/medium tables and lowish throughout though, yeah it’s often good enough and avoids having many indexes for specific use cases (which is a cost in itself, in memory/cpu/storage)

Do you have any benchmarks? Be interesting to compare.
