Thanks,
Changing '0/19/01' to '0/19/01'::date gave me a subjective 50% speedup. A ran a bunch of queries w/ explain and I noticed that some combinations did not use the indexes and went right to seq scan. All of the where clause args are indexed. # SET enable_seqscan to FALSE ; forced the use of an Index and sped things up greatly. I am not sure why it made the switch. The load on the server seems to affect the performance, but I am seeing it more on the production server with 100 million rows as opposed to the development server with only about 6 million. I need to buy more drives and develop on a larger data set.
