You mean all records of interest, right, not all records in the table?
What indexes do you have in place? What's the schema? Can you post a "\d
tablename" from psql?

Without seeing the schema and index definitions ... maybe you'd benefit
from a multiple column index. I'd experiment with an index on
(funcid,priority) first.
