Yep, OK, so it's not just a planning or scaling issue. Have you checked pg_locks ? SELECT * FROM pg_locks; What does pg_stat_activity indicate about the query? SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity; > The plan might change from one execution to the other - is there a way > to get the executed plan at runtime?
