RE: Slow queries after Windows startup

Thanks for pointing out those links. I am trying to figure out how they can help me.
One more thing, I can't understand the postgresql.log duration vs. a "EXPLAIN ANALYZE" in the query:
Postgresql.log gives:
duration: 628.000 ms parse (...)
duration: 0.000 ms bind (...)
duration: 378.000 ms execute (...)

EXPLAIN gives:
(...)
I/O Timings: read=0.019
(...)
Total runtime: 0.167 ms

Where are all these milliseconds (378ms vs. 0.167ms)?
What can be slowing down the query parsing?

I have no idea to be honest, I haven't done any Windows administration in a long time.

The best I could find is this:
