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.


Either that, or try creating a covering index, so that the query can do an
index-only scan. That might reduce the amount of IO against the table, and
in the index the data should be located close to each other (same page or
pages close to each other).

So try something like

   CREATE INDEX ios_idx ON table (field, user_id);

and make sure the table is vacuumed often enough (so that the visibility
map is up to date).
