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.

Thanks for the help,
