While running this EXPLAIN backend use disk for a long time:
 TID  PRIO  USER     DISK READ  DISK WRITE  SWAPIN     IO>    COMMAND                                                                                                                        
21638 be/4 postgres    2.10 M/s    9.45 M/s  0.00 % 69.04 % postgres: postgres xxxxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(50987) EXPLAIN

Why it read and write to disk 10 megabytes per second for EXPLAIN query? Cannot understand what is going on here :(
