You are getting 190+ secs on the new hardware and 235 secs on the old?
Is the CPU usage maxed out? Assuming linux run top and then press 1.
If in both cases the CPU's are maxed out, then that explains why they are
about the same speed = both are 3GHz Intel CPUs, and your DB fits in RAM.
I've really no idea how to improve your query or indexing...
Try EXPLAIN ANALYZE <your query here> and then look for the longest running
bits.
