Re: Gin indexes on intarray is fast when value in array does not exists, and slow, when value exists

I have table with 500 000 rows, I have int[] column "my_array" in this table, this array column contains minimum 1 and maximum 5 different values.

I have GIN index on my_array column:

 "CREATE INDEX idx ON table_name USING GIN(my_array gin__int_ops)"

Then I use this query: "SELECT * FROM  table_name WHERE my_array @> '{3}'::integer[]  ORDER BY id LIMIT 50"

Execution time of this query is approximately 500-1000 ms. Then if I drop gin index "idx", query works extremely fast, less than 20 ms.
