I am using PostGIS and I need to find where linear features (mylines) intersect only the buffer of polygon features (mypoly). I used the following code, which works, but it is taking 13.369 seconds to complete the query. This does not sound like much, but I am using a relatively small dataset and the time will increase dramatically as the dataset gets larger. Is there a way to improve the performance of this query. I have spent a week on this and I just cannot improve the performance. Appreciate any and all help!
