This might be due to caching.  When you query two tables all of the
pages you need might be cached, but when you query a third table
some of the pages from the other tables might be evicted from the
cache.  When you query one of those tables again the pages have to
be fetched from disk.

How big are the tables in question?

Could you post the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output of each query?  Have you
tuned any of your postgresql.conf settings, in particular shared_buffers?
How much memory do you have?
