That's pretty odd. If you use \timing in psql, you can get execution
time for each query, if it helps you track things down.
> Correct me if am I wrong but, executing PgAdmin in the same server there aren't networks delays!
Not network, no. But the results of your explains seem to show that the
query is executing much faster on the new system than the old, so the
problem still becomes, "what is happening after the query completes that
is so slow?" It's just that networking is ruled out.
