It's good to know that the issue has been observed in more than one
release or on more than one platform, but it's also useful to get a
bit more information about one particular occurrence. Please read
this:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SlowQueryQuestions
In particular, knowing such things as your postgresql.conf settings,
the disk configuration, how much RAM the machine has, etc. can allow
us to provide more useful advice.
Please run these as EXPLAIN ANALYZE (or at least whatever you can
get to finish that way) instead of just EXPLAIN. If you can let the
slow one run through EXPLAIN ANALYZE overnight or on a test machine
so that it can complete, it will give us a lot more with which to
work. Please attach wide output (like that from EXPLAIN) as a text
attachment, to prevent wrapping which makes it hard to read.
