I hope this is a read-mostly table, because having that many indexes has got to be killing your insert/update performance. I see that some of the revop indexes might be considered relevant to this query, so how exactly have you got those opclasses defined? There's built-in support for reverse sort as of CVS HEAD, but in existing releases you must have cobbled something together, and I wonder if that could be a contributing factor ... regards, tom lane
