EXPLAIN ANALYZE on 8.2

Hi, everybody!

Running the same query on pg 8.2 through EXPLAIN ANALYZE takes 4x-10x time as running it without it.
Is it ok?

Example:

testing=> select count(*) from auth_user;
count
---------
2575675
(1 row)

Time: 1450,829 ms
testing=> explain analyze select count(*) from auth_user;
