Obviously, most of the total cost (cost=327569, time=39749ms) comes from
two operations in the execution plan:
(a) sequential scan on the 'rid' table (cost=195342, time=26347ms) that
produces almost 3.200.000 rows
(b) hash join of the two subresults (cost=240000, time=14000ms)
How many rows are there in the 'rid' table? If the 'IN' clause selects
more than a few percent of the table, the index won't be used as the
sequential scan of the whole table will be faster than random access
(causing a lot of seeks).
Try to:
(a) analyze the table - might help if the stats are too old and don't
reflect current state
(b) increase the statistics target of the table (will give more precise
stats, allowing to select a better plan)
(c) tune the 'cost' parameters of the planner - the default values are
quite conservative, so if you have fast disks (regarding seeks) the
sequential scan may be chosen too early, you may even 'turn off' the
sequential scan
