I don't know if the plan can be improved; it has to retrieve and sort 347014 rows,
most of which are read from diak, so it will take some time.

One thing I notice is that some statistics seem to be bad (the estimate for
the index scan on "permissions" is off the mark), so maybe you can ANALYZE
both tables (perhaps with higher "default_statistics_target") and see if that
changes anything.

Is there any chance you could give the machine lots of RAM?
That would speed up the bitmap heap scan (but not the sort).

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
