I'm not as familiar with postgresql as I am with

much physical IO going on in either case.

What can I do to speed up this query? Other queries
are slightly slower than under Oracle on the same
hardware but nothing like this.

Usual questions:

have you vacuumed the table recently?
what are your postgresql.conf settings?
can you show us explain ANALYZE output rather than just explain output?
