Looking forward to your explain output.
Here it is (I wrapped some of the longer lines as might not have
survived the translation to email):
Postgres v8.1.0
EXPLAIN SELECT a.longid AS longid, b.longid AS blongid,
gcdist(a.ra, a.dec, b.ra, b.dec) AS dist

Actual timing using v8.4.1 was 10228 seconds (sorry didn't record the
milliseconds).
It only worked when I left it running overnight!
