Thank you for your reply.
tshow=> explain (analyze, buffers) select count(t.*) from tshow.res_room_weight t,tshow.res_room_info r
tshow-> where t.subcatlg_id=46
tshow-> and t.roomid = r.actorid
tshow-> and r.levels>=0;
http://explain.depesz.com/s/oKN5 shows where the time is spent in that query, but as you say, that one the timing was fine. there's a lot of time being spent in a seq_scan of res_room_info.
I would have written that query as the inner join it is, but that probably won't effect how it's executed.
select ... from
tshow.res_room_weight t join tshow.res_room_info r on (t.roomid = r.actorid) where t.subcatlg_id=46 and r.levels>=0;--
