EXPLAIN ANALYZE might tell you something.

Is this really the query you're running?  Because these two columns
don't exist:

> INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE.REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME,
> INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE.REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME

Leaving those out, I get sub-second runtimes for 70-odd foreign key
constraints, on much slower hardware than I think you are using.
