To help you, we probably need to know:

1) You have done a vacuum analyze on these tables.
2) What the structure of the tables is (indexes, etc).
3) The output of "SELECT versio()"
4) If version is 7.2 then EXPLAIN ANALYZE ... is a better choice.

Off the top of my head it looks odd that PostgreSQL has chosen to do two
index scans and a merge join, rather than doing sequential scans, since
you are going for the full table.

Unfortunately nothing presents itself off the top of my head, but
someone else on this list may have some ideas. More information will
hopefully help.
