For starters, we need to know what version of PostgreSQL this is:

select version();

It wouldn't hurt to see the contents of your postgresql.conf (with
all comments removed) and to know something about the table, and how
it's used. One way to get that information would be:

VACUUM ANALYZE VERBOSE tablename;
