Why is that showing 85+ percent *system* CPU time??  I could believe a
lot of idle CPU if the query is I/O bound, or a lot of user time if PG
was being a hog about doing the ~~ comparisons (not too unlikely BTW).
But if the kernel is eating all the CPU, there's something very wrong,
and I don't think it's Postgres' fault.
