The planner evidently thinks that dblink() will return only one row,
and consequently it chooses a plan that would be fast in that case
... but is dog-slow for 9000 rows.

Probably the easiest answer is to update to 7.3 and use the new
function-in-FROM syntax for invoking dblink.  That should result
in more useful assumptions about the number of rows returned.
