mnesia query

[Sebastian Bello]

I've done some test with indexes and am a bit confused.
I've ran the same query using select, index_read and QLC and performance
seems to follow that same order(faster to slower). I noted that performance
depedends on the number of records associated to the value of the index
searched. There's surely something I'm missing here. My questions would be:
1. shouldn't performance be better for index_read and QLC than select (since
an index is beeing used)?
2. when using QLC, should indexes be used explicitly (or just write a normal
list comprehension query)?
3. depending on 2, how can I use two indexes with QLC?
4. just to be sure, should a search through two indexes be always faster
than using just one?

I saw some old questions regarding this point, but didn't get a clear idea
about it.
Thanks,
    Sebastian-
