The second query ran better than the first one:

That's what I figured. Ok, so looking back to your original message again:

CREATE INDEX i08_a_activity
  ON a_activity
  USING btree
  (activequeueid , vstatus , ventrydate );

Based on the query here, it doesn't appear that vstatus or ventrydate are doing you any good in that index. Nor would your query even really make use of them anyway, considering their catch-all equalities. If you can make a clone of a_activity, could you try this index instead with your original query:

CREATE INDEX idx_a_activity_queue
    ON a_activity_clone (activequeueid);

Then compare to this:

CREATE INDEX idx_a_activity_queue_sbuid
    ON a_activity_clone (activequeueid, sbuid);

And the results of this query would also be handy:

SELECT attname, n_distinct
  FROM pg_stats
 WHERE tablename='a_activity';

Generally you want to order your composite indexes in order of uniqueness, if you even want to make a composite index in the first place. I noticed in both cases, it's basically ignoring sbuid aside from the implied hash to exclude non-matches.
