I think you're getting a bad query plan, mostly as a result of two
factors:

* Poor row estimates.  It looks like the bottom-most misestimations
are on temp tables, which makes me wonder whether you've ANALYZEd
those tables.  Your application has to do that explicitly after
populating the tables; auto-analyze can't help on temp tables.

* Too many tables --- I count 33 table scans in this query.  You
might get better planning results by raising join_collapse_limit
and/or from_collapse_limit, but it will come at a cost in planning
time, and in any case a query with this many tables is never likely
to be cheap.  You might want to think about restructuring your schema
to not need so many tables, or maybe just do some hand optimization
of the query to eliminate unnecessary joins.  (It looks to me like
at least some of the joins to tt_eotb1 might be unnecessary?)
