I've never heard of EXPLAIN ANALYSE being *faster* than the actual
query, it's usually slower due to all the timing calls. The only thing
it doesn't do is actually send the results over the connection to the
client. In your case, you're not actually selecting any columns, so that
can't be it.

Are you sure there's nothing subtly different about the slow query when
compared with the explain analyse?
