Long running query in new production, not so long in old

[Mark Steben <mark.steben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good evening

We are moving to a new VM environment (expedient) and have one query  that typically runs in 22 - 25 seconds in our old environment, but is running in about 1 hour, 20 minutes in our new.  I'd like some insight as to why the explain is showing shared buffer hits numbering over 113 milliion

in the new environment and only 445 thousand in the old.  I have sent the explains along with the table descriptions, row counts, the one function that I know causes the bottleneck,  the query, some relevant configuration settings in postgresql conf (identical in both environments)

and a listing from top in both environments, showing memory, shared memory, and cpu.

Everything seems to be identical or close, except for the shared buffer count in the explain.  

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you,
