Thanks for the answer.

so there's no way around this problem? A nice index bitmap merge thing would be super fast. Big table ANTI JOIN queries with only a few results expected, are totally broken, if this is true. 

This way the query breaks my neck. This is a massive downside of postgres which makes this kind of query impossible. Mysql gives you the answer in a few seconds :-(
