Have you set up your partitions correctly (eg, with appropriate CHECK
constraints and with constraint_exclusion turned on)? Also, you'd want
to keep your indexes on the individual partitions, of course.. That
should improve query time quite a bit since it should only be hitting
the partitions where the data might be.
