  *   The only workaround that I could think of is -

UPDATE users SET
    visited = now(),
    ip      = '20.20.20.20'::inet,
    lat     = (SELECT lat FROM geoip WHERE '20.20.20.20'::inet <<= block),
    lng     = (SELECT lng FROM geoip WHERE '20.20.20.20'::inet <<= block)
WHERE uid = 2;

But that would run the same subquery twice (correct?) and my geoip table is 
already slow with 3073410 records (and that is why I am trying to cache its lat 
and lng values in the users table on each user login event)

Have you considered using a WITH clause to get the data so the query is only 
run once?
