Hello, i have been having a problem like this in debian machines and i have 
discovered that (almost in my case), the problem only arises when i am using 
"ssl = true" in postgresql.conf although i am using clear tcp connections to 
localhost to perform my query, if i disable ssl in configuration my localhost 
query times goes from 4200ms to 110ms, the same parameter does not have this 
effect in my Arch Linux development machine, so maybe you should see how this 
parameter affect your setup Ross. My original post to general list is in 
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2009-02/msg01297.php for more 
information.

Regards,
Miguel Angel.
