explain analyze actually runs the query to do timings. Just run explain and see what you come up with. More than likely there is a nestloop in there which is causing the long query time.
Try bumping up shared buffers some and sort mem as much as you safely can.
Thank you, that did it!
With shared_buffers = 3000 # min 16, at least max_connections*2, 8KB each sort_mem = 128000 # min 64, size in KB
128 MB for sort_mem is too much, consider that in this way each backend can use 128 MB for sort operations... Also shared_buffers = 3000 means 24MB that is not balanced with the 128MB needed for sort... Try to bump up 128 MB for shared_buffer ( may be you need to instruct your OS to allow that ammount of shared memory usage ) and 24MB for sort_mem.
