9 times out of 10, the answer to this type of problem is that you have
some table referencing this one by a foreign key, and the referencing
column is not indexed.  PG doesn't require such an index, but lack of
one will mean that retail checks or deletions of referencing rows are
really slow.

If you're not sure which table is the problem, try doing an EXPLAIN
ANALYZE of a DELETE that will only remove a few rows.  You should
see some time blamed on a trigger associated with the FK constraint.
