The window to run ANALYZE usefully is pretty short.  If you run it
before the load is complete, your stats will be wrong.  If you run it
after the select statements that hit the table are planned, the
updated stats won't arrive in time to do any good.

I think you need to find a way to identify exactly which query is
running slowly.  You could sit there and run "select * from
pg_stat_activity", or turn on log_min_duration_statement, or have your
application print out timestamps at key points, or some other
method...
