I neglected to paste this 'explain analyze', when I changed the index so
that 'transaction_time_commit' is first column in the index:

jura=# explain analyze select * from transactions where
transaction_time_commit between '2009-01-01' and '2009-01-31 23:59:59';

                  QUERY PLAN


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

width=91) (actual time=95.139..280.008 rows=525051 loops=1)
    Recheck Cond: ((transaction_time_commit >= '2009-01-01
00:00:00+01'::timestamp with time zone) AND (transaction_time_commit <=

Thank you, Tom!
