We're using postgres 9.2.5. Every couple of days we'll have a query get cancelled and it is always at the start of one of our custom procedures. The query is typically part of a php loop that runs in less than a second, however when the issue occurs, that pass through the loop takes multiple seconds (~3-4) before the query cancels. The loop continues to run after the issue occurs, so the php script itself is not terminating. We also see it in non-loop based updates and selects, so it's not tied to that particular script. It's possible that some of the selects are actually cancelled by the user, but the inserts have no interaction with the users. The updates are triggered by the user, but there's no way for them to cancel it short of killing their client, and the timeframe for them to do that would (normally) be minuscule.
Are we doing anything weird with this procedure? Is there anything more I can do to get more info as to why/how the cancellation is happening or why the function would slow down seemingly randomly?

partition_2015 (on table 1) has one index that references chooselast: "pik_last_2015" btree (cusid, lower(chooselast(last1, last2)::text))
I'm not sure why an update on table1 that does not change last1 or last2 would touch the index, so why would we even call the chooselast procedure?
table2 has no indexes that reference chooselast, but is also partitioned (by year as well).
