Unfortunatly it's not clear where the slowdown is. You'd probably need to recompile postgresql with profiling to find exactly where it's going wrong. Quick test though, if you disable the index (set enable_indexscan=off) so it does a seqscan, is it faster or slower? By how much? i.e. is it helping much.
