The view flattens the key/value structure (for enchanceable technical
measure values) to a flat structure with many columns. The view is that I
have a flat structure and then have easy to write queries for aggregation.
The query itself is just an aggregating query over that flat structure.
Any ideas for better optimizations?

I will try that. But what I don't understand: query was really fast in
8.3 even with 24 hours timeframe.

Hopefully yes :-) after that Fedora/Postgresql nightmare update night
(Parallel Fedora upgrade stalled whole machine since that query from
Nagios was executed I guess hundreds of times since it got very slow in
8.4). Machine was pingable but nothing else even on console :-( RAID
rebuild and all other stuff :-(
I planned the upgrade but I didn't expect problems with the query plan
instability :-(
Thnx.
Ciao,
Gerhard
