+.PP
+In cases where you are accessing single rows randomly within a table,
+the actual order of the data in the heap table unimportant. However, if
+you tend to access some data more than others, and there is an index
+that groups them together, you will benefit from using the CLUSTER
+command.
+.PP
+Another place CLUSTER is good is in cases where you use an index to pull
+out several rows from a table. If you are requesting a range of indexed
+values from a table, or a single indexed value that has multiple rows
+that match, CLUSTER will help because once the index identifies the heap
+page for the first row that matches, all other rows that match are
+probably already on the same heap page, saving disk accesses and speeding up
+the query.
+.PP
+There are two ways to cluster data. The first is with the CLUSTER
+command, which reoreders the original table with the ordering of the
+index you specify. This can be slow on large tables because the rows
+are fetched from the heap in index order, and if the heap table is
+unordered, the entries are on random pages, so there is one disk page
+retrieved for every row moved. PostgreSQL has a cache, but the majority
+of a big table will not fit in the cache.
+.PP
+Another way is to use SELECT ... INTO TABLE temp FROM ... This uses the
+PostgreSQL sorting code, and is much faster for unordered data. You
+then drop the old table, use ALTER TABLE RENAME to rename 'temp' to the
+old name, and recreate the indexes. From then on, CLUSTER should be
+fast because most of the heap data is ordered.
