Ouch! The table itself doesn't look nearly as bad:

but you've got a spectacularly bad case of index bloat. An index 50
times bigger than its table is Not Good. I think you'd find that
"REINDEX TABLE shawns_data" does wonders for the situation.
The next question is how it got to be that way... what is your
vacuuming policy for this database? Maybe you need to raise
max_fsm_pages?
