The below query is spending most of its time in the sort, or perhaps the complicated check condition before it.
The explain has a 8 second gap in time between the 2.8 seconds after the Hash Left Join and before the Sort. I'm guessing its hidden in the sort.
You can get the planner to switch from a sort to a hash aggregate with a large work_mem. Try calling
SET work_mem = '100MB';
before this query first.
It may not help that much if the check time is as expensive as it looks in the plan below, but its very easy to try.
If it does help, you may want to temporarily increase that value only for this query rather than making it a default in the config file.

Group by using CHAR columns takes abnormally big time.
How to speed it ?
