One further question is: is this really a meaningful test?  I mean, in
production are you going to query 300000 rows regularly?  And is the
system always going to be used by only one user?  I guess the question
is if this big select is representative of the load you expect in
production.

What happens if you execute the query more times?  Do the times stay the
same as the second run?
