The EXPLAIN ANALYZE output shows it taking 24 seconds, 8.9 seconds
of which is in accessing the tweet_topic table and 15.1 seconds in
accessing the tweet table.  It looks like you have a painfully low
cache hit ratio.  The plan looks reasonable to me; it looks like
you need more RAM to cache data if you want better speed.
