So 30 seconds for 76 days (roughly) worth of numbers ? Not terrible but not great.

I don't have any immediate thoughts but maybe you could post the table schemas and indexes. It looks to my untutored eye as if most of the estimates are fair so I am guessing that you have run analyze recently.

What is your sort memory set to ? If work_mem is too low then you'll go to disk (if you see tmp files under the postgres $PGDATA/base directory you might be seeing the result of this) ...
