Seth,

Just in case, the "shared_buffers" value looks a bit far too small for your system. I think you should raise it to at least 1024, or so.
Effective cache size could be (at least) doubled, too ==> this might help forcing the index use.
Thanks! I'm just beginning to play with these numbers. I'll definitely try them out.
I can't wait to try out the script that will help set these parameters! :)
