This is the query which needs to be optimized.  When I multiply the
runtime of this function's query by the estimated number of
function calls, I get 2.6 hours.

Copying the query from the first email on the thread:

SELECT l.id || l.country || l.region || l.city
  FROM blocks b
  JOIN locations l ON (b.location_id = l.id)
  WHERE $1 >= start_ip
    and $1 <= end_ip
  limit 1;

Can you provide the table definitions for blocks and locations,
including indexes?  Also, could you tell us what the OS is, how
much RAM is on the system, what the storage system looks like, and
provide the output from running this?:

SELECT version();
SELECT name, current_setting(name), source
  FROM pg_settings
  WHERE source NOT IN ('default', 'override');

You might also try running EXPLAIN ANALYZE for this query after
running these statements on the connection, and see if you get a
different plan:

VACUUM ANALYZE blocks;
VACUUM ANALYZE locations;
SET cpu_tuple_cost = 0.03;
SET random_page_cost = 1;
SET effective_cache_size = <75% of machine RAM>
SET work_mem = <25% of machine RAM / max_connections>
