I assume you've done a VACUUM ANALYZE at least once since loading up
your data?
It'd be useful to see the results of an EXPLAIN for the problem query,
both with and without SET ENABLE_SEQSCAN TO OFF. Also, it'd be helpful
to see VACUUM's stats for the relevant tables. You can get those for
a table named 'FOO' with
select attname,attdisbursion,s.*
from pg_statistic s, pg_attribute a, pg_class c
where starelid = c.oid and attrelid = c.oid and staattnum = attnum
and relname = 'FOO';
