Thanks, this did the trick - here's the output when I switched to 9.1 snapshot:

ircevents=# select version();
                                           version

buffer = 116780 AND id BETWEEN 1325458800000000 AND 1330642800000000

So yes, it's using "index scan backwards" - and fixes my problem, thanks!

Bit reluctant to put the machine into production with a non-release
version of postgres, I'll wait for 9.1.4 to make an official
appearance.
