That's not quite what Andreas asked. Do you have an index on (pid, crit)?

He has 8.1, and i think, we have bitmap index scan for such tasks...
(we don't need a index over both columns)

Hmm - I'd have assumed an index spanning both columns would be a win where the selectivity was reasonable (as it looked here). Reading through the original post, I'd be tempted to see if an index on (pid,crit,iDate) could be used for the sorting too. If the planner is smart enough to spot it, that would presumably be the best result.
