I haven't looked at the details, but the comment you made about it being
fast on the live server which hits this query frequently tends to
suggest that this is a caching issue.

Most likely, the first time Pg has to read the data from disk. The
second time, it's in memory-based disk cache or even in Pg's
shared_buffers, so it can be accessed vastly quicker.
