My guess is that the time difference youre seing is actually the planning time. 
The timing shown at the end of EXPLAIN ANALYZE is just the execution, not the 
planning time. You can use "\timing on" in psql to let it display timing 
information that include planning.

Whats the query?

Its unlikely thats possible in a sensible amount of time. But I don't think 
thats your problem anyway.
