What indexes have you created? The query is not using any indexes, so
there might be a problem there. Can you disable seqscans temporarily
to test this?

Can you please send the results of the following commands:
psql=# \d spk_tgp
and
psql=# \d spk_tgplog
You might also want to try using a sub-query instead of a join. I'm
assuming that the spk_tgplog table has a lot of rows and spk_tgp has
very few rows. It might make sense to try something like this:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT t.tgpid, t.directoryname, t.templateid, r.requested
FROM (SELECT tgpid, count(*) AS requested FROM spk_tgplog GROUP BY
tgpid) r, spk_tgp t
WHERE r.tgpid = t.tgpid;
