You could try a partial index on: (account_id, completed_at desc, taskable_name, position, assigned_to_user_id) where "tasks"."archived" != 't' AND "tasks"."complete" = 't' Also, the poor estimate of the number of rows on your scan of index_permissions_on_user_id_and_object_id_and_object_type suggests that you are not analyzing (and so probably also not vacuuming) often enough.
