I'm storing some timestamps as integers (UTF) in a table and I want to
query by <= and >= for times between a certain period.  The table has
gotten quite large and is now very slow in querying.

I think it's time to create an index for the timestamp column.

Uh, yeah.

I tried using an rtree (for <= and >= optimization):

Bad idea.

Do I have to create an rtree type for my timestamp integer column?

Why do you want an rtree index? They're for multidimensional polygonal data and stuff. Just create a normal index...
