Hello there!
Thank you for all the answers. The problem is solved.
When I edited the postgresql.conf (which still had the standard
configuration), and changed the following :
shared_buffers = 1024
sort_mem = 10000
I also restarted postgresql and everything that took approx. 55 seconds now took only 3 seconds!
Thanks.
Joepie.
