I do very similar thing, log all my webstats to PG, but querying millions of rows is always going to be slow. I use a
summarytable. Actually, several.
My detail table is like yours, but every 5 minutes I query out the last hour and summarize into a by_hour table. Every
nightI query out the last 24 hours and summarize into a by_day table. The detail table and by_hour table never have
morethan 24 hours worth of data, by_day goes back many years.
My stats pages all query the by_hour and by_day tables, and its very fast.
