Are you sure it is using the index?
Anyway, it is better to show an example, with EXPLAIN ANALYZE
output. Here's mine, involving searches of War and Peace.
test=# -- Create the table.
test=# -- In reality, I would probably make tsv NOT NULL,
test=# -- but I'm keeping the example simple...
test=# CREATE TABLE war_and_peace
test-# (
test(# lineno serial PRIMARY KEY,
test(# linetext text NOT NULL,
test(# tsv tsvector
test(# );
CREATE TABLE
test=#
test=# -- Load from downloaded data into database.
test=# COPY war_and_peace (linetext)
test-# FROM '/home/kgrittn/Downloads/war-and-peace.txt';
COPY 65007
test=#
test=# -- "Digest" data to lexemes.
test=# UPDATE war_and_peace
test-# SET tsv = to_tsvector('english', linetext);
UPDATE 65007

test=# CREATE INDEX war_and_peace_tsv
test-# ON war_and_peace

Can you provide a similar example which slows the slowness you report?
