Well, changing ago() to use timestamp without time zone it goes ok in
the query. This query now takes ~2ms.

SELECT
data.entered,
data.machine_id,
datatemplate_intervals.template_id,
data_values.value
FROM
data, data_values, datatemplate_intervals
WHERE
datatemplate_intervals.id = data_values.template_id AND
data_values.data_id = data.id AND
data.machine_id IN (SELECT machine_id FROM machine_group_xref
WHERE group_id = 1) AND
ago('60 seconds') < data.entered

Using it in this procedure.
select * from get_current_machine_status('60 seconds', 1);
takes ~100s. Maybe there's some obvious wrong I do about it?

CREATE TYPE public.mstatus_holder AS
(entered timestamp,
machine_id int4,
template_id int4,
value varchar);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.get_current_machine_status(interval,
int4)
RETURNS SETOF mstatus_holder AS
'
SELECT
data.entered,
data.machine_id,
datatemplate_intervals.template_id,
data_values.value
FROM
data, data_values, datatemplate_intervals
WHERE
datatemplate_intervals.id = data_values.template_id AND
data_values.data_id = data.id AND
data.machine_id IN (SELECT machine_id FROM machine_group_xref WHERE
group_id = $2) AND
ago($1) < data.entered

LANGUAGE 'sql' VOLATILE;
