no idea :) btw, what version of postgresql and OS you're running.
Could you try minimal test - check sql commands from tsearch2 sources,
some basic queries from tsearch2 documentation, tutorials.

btw, your query should looks like
select id_site from site_rss where idx_site_name @@ 'livejourn';
^^^^^^^^

How did you run your queries at all ? I mean your first message about
poor tsearch2 performance.
