Tom,
I cannot run execute because all these are temp tables with drop on auto
commit within a function. This should have something to do with running it
in a transaction, when I run them in autocommit mode (without a drop on
autocommit) the queries return in a few seconds.

I am running a bunch of queries within a function, creating some temp
tables and populating them. When the data exceeds say, 100k the queries
start getting really slow and timeout (30 min). when these are run outside
of a transaction(in auto commit mode), they run in a few seconds. Any
ideas on what may be going on and any postgresql.conf parameters etc that
might help?
I'll bet the function is caching query plans that stop being appropriate
once the table grows in size. You might have to resort to using
EXECUTE, although if you're on 8.4 DISCARD PLANS ought to help too.
