Lance-wielding cavalry was efficient versus infantry also in the 19th century.

A good example is the destruction of Colborne's brigade by Polish lancers at Albuera in 1811:

Casualty ratio was 1:10 - 130 for the lancers and 1300 for the infantry they defeated.

The Vistula Lancers were also known as the "Lancers of Hell" among the British.
