It looks like the numbers in brackets are the latest raw numbers from
getrusage(), whereas the numbers before the brackets are the delta
from a getrusage() call made at the start of execution.

It's just the overall getrusage result for the backend process.

Local blocks are (or were ... that code is gone as of 9.0) I/O for
temporary tables of the current backend. I think direct blocks was a
count of I/Os on temp files (sort data and so on).
