Ben, when I was using it there was absolutely no speedup with the aggregated table. My big db is over a million hands, also have a second much smaller db.

However the main slowdown was when PT was importing to postgresql at the same time. That absolutely kills it, and guess not much you can do about it. For those experiencing slowdowns, I would suggest suspending mining or at least importing observed tables while you play and that should help a lot.
