Yes! That is it :) Planning is painful. I'm so stupid. I didn't check VACUUM
without ANALYZE :)

time psql  -c 'explain SELECT te.idt FROM t_positions AS te    WHERE te.idtr
IN (347186)'

real    0m1.087s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.001s

I've changed default_statistics_target to 10000 and I think that is a
reason. When I changed it to 1000 everything seems to be ok:

time psql  -c 'explain analyze SELECT te.idt FROM t_positions AS te    WHERE
te.idtr IN (347186)'

real    0m0.062s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.004s

Thanks.
