It looks like you have a large amount of memory allocated to the server

But your plans are doing reads instead of pulling things from shared buffers

data/postgresql.conf:
max_connections = 100
shared_buffers = 128MB

It looks like you are running with the stock config for shared_buffers. With only 128MB dedicated for shared_buffers and such a big database, you'll be thrashing the cache pretty hard. With 125GB on the server, try upping shared_buffers to something more like 32GB.
