Unfortunately, yes, it is.
I've taken in all of everybody's helpful advice (thanks!) and reworked
things a little, and now I'm left with this expensive nugget:
select aj.album from
(select seconds-1 as a,seconds+1 as b from node where node.dir = 6223) n
join public.track t
on (t.length between n.a*1000 and n.b*1000)
join public.albumjoin aj
on (aj.track = t.id)
join (select id from public.albummeta am where tracks between 3 and 7) lam
on (lam.id = aj.album)
group by aj.album having count(*) >= 4;
...which comes out to be:
HashAggregate (cost=904444.69..904909.99 rows=31020 width=4)
Filter: (count(*) >= 4)
-> Nested Loop (cost=428434.81..897905.17 rows=1307904 width=4)
Join Filter: (("inner".length >= (("outer".seconds - 1) * 1000)) AND ("inner".length <= (("outer".seconds +
1)* 1000)))
-> Index Scan using node_dir on node (cost=0.00..3.46 rows=17 width=4)
Index Cond: (dir = 6223)
-> Materialize (cost=428434.81..438740.01 rows=692420 width=8)

I'm surprised (though probably just because I'm ignorant) that it would
have so much sequential scanning in there. For instance, because n is
going to have at most a couple dozen rows, it seems that instead of
scanning all of public.track, it should be able to convert my "t.length
between a and b" clause to some between statements or'd together. Or at
least, it would be nice if the planner could do that. :)
