Tomas,

OK, what was the number of unused pointer items in the VACUUM output?

I posted it in this thread:

VACUUM FULL ANALYZE VERBOSE;
...
INFO:  free space map contains 14353 pages in 314 relations
DETAIL:  A total of 20000 page slots are in use (including overhead).
89664 page slots are required to track all free space.
Current limits are:  20000 page slots, 1000 relations, using 182 KB.
NOTICE:  number of page slots needed (89664) exceeds max_fsm_pages (20000)
HINT:  Consider increasing the configuration parameter "max_fsm_pages" to a
value over 89664.

Query returned successfully with no result in 10513335 ms.

The query performance is still the same as when the tables were bloated?

Seems to be the same.
However I improved yesterday after previous message other queries not to scan whole
product orders (rid) table.
Now there is only few disk activity after 5-300 seconds which seems not to
affect to those query results. So issue in this thread has been gone away.

Now this query runs using constant time 8 seconds:

Interestingly using like is 80 times faster:

explain analyze

I posted also a test script in other thread which shows also that like is
magitude faster than equality check.

rid.toode = 'X05'

and

rid.toode like 'X05'

are exactly the same conditions, there are indexes for both conditions.

So I do'nt understand why results are so different.

In other sample which I posted in thread "Increasing pattern index query
speed" like is 4 times slower:

SELECT sum(1)
  FROM dok JOIN rid USING (dokumnr)
  JOIN toode USING (toode)
  WHERE rid.toode = '99000010' AND dok.kuupaev BETWEEN '2008-11-21' AND

What are the outputs of iostat/vmstat/dstat/top when running the query?

iostat and dstat are not installed in Gentoo.
For last like query which constantly takes 46 seconds vmstat 5  shows:
