Bad performance with cascaded deletes - Mailing list pgsql-general

I have an issue with delete performance I can't explain.

Delete on zpg_data.session  (cost=190.51..4491.20 rows=500 width=46)
...
Planning time: 0.222 ms
 Trigger RI_ConstraintTrigger_a_16481 for constraint
availability_cache_ac_session_id_fkey: time=350.116 calls=500

For me this reads like the delete takes 0.2ms and the cascaded delete
takes 350ms. There is a primary key (index) on the availability_cache
table and if I delete it manually deleting with an id is pretty fast.
For me it looks like the trigger doesn't use the primary key/index.

Any ideas why the trigger is slow or how to get a plan for the trigger?

Thanks for help
