Hi, I have now disabled hyperthreading in /etc/grub.conf (added noht at the end of kernel lines), rebooted the server, run ANALYSE on the database again, and launched the query: things are even a little bit worse, it completes in 540 seconds now. So this is no ANALYSE or hyperthreading problem. Here are both EXPLAIN ANALYSE results, plus the query itself: Postgresql 7.4.5: http://www.attiksystem.ch/explain_analyze_74.txt Postgresql 8.1.4: http://www.attiksystem.ch/explain_analyze_81.txt Query is here: http://www.attiksystem.ch/big_query.txt The freebsd box, as far as I can remember, has not been specifically tuned. I did recompile a kernel with a few things inside, but really, I did not spend hours on that two years ago.

Also, as Ludwig mentioned, a common gotcha is to forget to ANALYZE your data after moving it to a new database. regards, tom lane
