Obviously you need to install it ... maybe ask your sysadmin to do that.

The vmstat clearly shows that ~1 CPU is waiting on I/O. Hmm, I'm really
wondering what's going on here - I can't think of a case where this
would happen with a plain EXPLAIN ...
We really need the perf results. Or try to run strace, maybe it'll give
more info about which files it accesses.

The EXPLAIN really should not do much I/O. I doubt it has anything to do
with fragmentation, so I doubt this is going to help.

OK. Which filesystem do you use, btw?
