My guess is that it's got nothing to do with the specific query, but
that Pointcloud is installing some hook functions when it's loaded,
and that one or another of those hooks is killing performance for
subsequent queries, either by taking too long in itself or by
defeating some important optimization. Hard to speculate further
with just this much data.

Have you experimented with other queries that don't involve PostGIS?
I'm wondering if your hook-installation code fails to work properly
unless PostGIS was loaded first. This would be easier to credit if
there are hooks both extensions try to get into.
