Optimizing IN queries - Mailing list pgsql-general

IN queries have large number of int values. Sample below is query which has
only 10 values in IN list but takes more than one minute.

In real query IN list may contain up to 5000 integers.

There are indexes in both dok.dokumnr and bilkaib.dokumnr columns so it
should run fast.
How to speed up the sample query below and if its IN list contains 5000
integers ?
Larger list takes takes 700 seconds to run.
Should I use CREATE TEMP TABLE list ON COMMIT DROP  to pass this list
instead using inline list or other idea ?
Shoult I create index on temp table also when creating temp table ?

Or should I require server upgrade ? Should I require upgrading PostgreSql,
adding RAM, disk speed or what ?
