Sorry, i have not been following this since sometime now.
Hardware configuration is better now. You were running on 8.3.x, can you
please help us know what version of Postgres is this ?
Did you collect latest statistics and performed VACUUM after migration ?
Can you get us the EXPLAIN plan for "select * from entity2document2 where
name='Acetaminophen' ; " ?
