David,
Remember that EXPLAIN ANALYZE actually RUNS the query. It may actually be
taking 3+ minutes to run the query. How large are the tables? What does
EXPLAIN (without ANALYZE) say? Have you run the query without EXPLAIN
ANALYZE to know how long it normally takes--what is the basis for suggesting
that 3 minutes is "too long"?
