PostgreSQL 7.2.2 is almost three years old -- consider upgrading
to 7.2.8, or better yet, 8.0.3.

Could you post the query results and the query's EXPLAIN ANALYZE
output? Do you have an index on group_artifact_id? If so, and if
EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows that the query uses the index, what happens
if you set enable_indexscan to off? What type is group_artifact_id?
How often do you vacuum, analyze, and/or reindex the table?
