hmm, if that were true we'd see "Rows Removed by Filter" in the
explain analyze.
I think all that's going on is that each tuple is on a different page
and the heap accesses are just causing many buffers to be accessed. It
seems to me that an IOS would likely fix that problem which is why I
suggested count(*) instead of
count(<not_null_column_thats_the_only_col_used_thats_not_in_the_index>)
