This query seems unreasonable slow on a well-indexed table (13 million
rows). Separate indexes are present on guardid_id , from_num and
targetprt columns.
The table was analyzed with a default stats target of 600.

6 x 450G 15K disks on a RAID 10 setup. (RHEL 5 )
The table size is 3.6GB (table + indexes)
explain analyze select 1 from mydev_tr_hr_dimension_2010_06_13 where
guardid_id=19 and from_num=184091764 and targetprt=25 limit 1;
