Hello Please recheck with track_io_timing = on in configuration. explain (analyze,buffers) with this option will report how many time we spend during i/o > Buffers: shared hit=2 read=31492 31492 blocks / 65 sec ~ 480 IOPS, not bad if you are using HDD Your query reads table data from disks (well, or from OS cache). You need more RAM for shared_buffers or disks with better performance. regards, Sergei
