One problem here is both of these are referencing the same column ;) I'm
sure that's a typo.
It sounds like you have something blocking or locking the other table.
Check pg_locks (I think it is), 13,000 rows shouldn't take *that* long.
Make sure there is an index on headwords_core(core_id) and whatever the
other column should be.
Foreign keys have to check the other table so without those indexes, it
will be slow(er).
