Sorry, here is the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output of that first SELECT

EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT email_record_id from ONLY email_record er
WHERE email_list_id = 13 AND email IN
(select email from suppress);

So much time is being spent in the Unique and Sort leaves... I would
think that it wouldn't need to do the unique portion, since there is no
DISTINCT clause...
