Ok, it took 3.5 hours to complete. :-/
This is with the default cpu_tuple_cost = 0.01:
Nested Loop (cost=252.80..233010147.16 rows=1035480320 width=98)
(actual time=0.369..12672213.137 rows=6171334 loops=1)
Join Filter: (("outer".starttimetrunc <= "inner".ts) AND
("outer".finishtimetrunc >= "inner".ts))
-> Seq Scan on sessions us (cost=0.00..26822.36 rows=924536
width=106) (actual time=0.039..5447.349 rows=924536 loops=1)
-> Materialize (cost=252.80..353.60 rows=10080 width=8) (actual
time=0.000..2.770 rows=10080 loops=924536)

Once again with cpu_tuple_cost = 0.1:
Nested Loop (cost=0.00..667684584.42 rows=1035480320 width=98) (actual
time=42.892..39877.928 rows=6171334 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on sessions us (cost=0.00..110030.60 rows=924536
width=106) (actual time=0.020..917.803 rows=924536 loops=1)
-> Index Scan using ix_du_ts on duration du (cost=0.00..604.46
rows=1120 width=8) (actual time=0.004..0.011 rows=7 loops=924536)
Index Cond: (("outer".starttimetrunc <= du.ts) AND
("outer".finishtimetrunc >= du.ts))
Total runtime: 41635.468 ms
(5 rows)

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
