I have not changed any parameters in postgresql.conf, so using default values.

Any recommendations to improve the performance.

yes.   the default values are suitable for a VERY small computer.

increasing shared_buffers, work_mem with have a significant performance increase.


You've got a 64 bit Windows Server with just 4GB of ram? thats rather limiting in this day and age where 16GB of ram is like $70. Many x86 systems with 4GB can actually only use about 3.2GB, give or take, and then Windows Server likely is using on the order of 1GB of that, leaving maybe 2GB for your database server and any other services and applications you're running on the same machine.

you say, your query is returning almost 2 million records? how large are these records? if they average 500 bytes each, thats 1GB right there just to hold a copy of the result set from that query.
