Well, this message never made it through, but I managed to answer my own
question -- I never ran vacuum analyze which caused a table scan instead of
an index scan. After running vacuum analyze the query returns immediately. I
would still be interested in any hints to optimize performance for very
large tables (>10M tuples).
Thanks,
Joe
