Will do and I guess it's possible but during the queries, reports I don't see a ton of writes, mostly reads
It didn't.

What is the reporting query that takes 26 hours? You didn't seem to

include it, or any query plan information for it (EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN
ANALYZE results).
It's this query, run 6000 times with a diff makeid's
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT uid ) AS active_users FROM pixelpool.userstats WHERE makeid ='bmw-ferman' AND tagged =true
Plan
"Aggregate (cost=49467.00..49467.01 rows=1 width=8)"
" -> Bitmap Heap Scan on userstats (cost=363.49..49434.06 rows=13175 width=8)"
" Recheck Cond: (makeid = 'b1mw-ferman'::text)"
" Filter: tagged"
" -> Bitmap Index Scan on idx_retargetuserstats_makeidtag (cost=0.00..360.20 rows=13175 width=0)"
" Index Cond: ((makeid = 'b1mw-ferman'::text) AND (tagged = true))"
What sort of activity is happening on the db concurrently with your
tests? What's your max connection limit?
50 max and there is nothing, usually one person connected if that, otherwise it's a cron job that bulk inserts and than jobs later on run that generate the reports off the static data. No deletes or updates happening.
What're your shared_buffers and effective_cache_size settings?

Could sorts be spilling to disk? Check work_mem size and enable logging
of tempfiles (see the manual).
work_mem = 100MB # min 64kB

Does an explicit ANALYZE of the problem table(s) help?
It didn't.
