What are your effective_cache_size and work_mem (8.x) or sort_mem (7.x)
settings? How much RAM does the machine have? If you have enough
memory then raising those variables should result in better plans;
you might also want to experiment with random_page_cost. Be careful
not to set work_mem/sort_mem too high, though. See "Run-time
Configuration" in the "Server Run-time Environment" chapter of the
documentation for more information about these variables.
