PQexecPrepared is generally the fastest way to run queries from a C
app as long as you get the right plan. Some suggestions
* you can explain/explain analyze executing prepared statements from
psql shell...try that and see if you can reproduce results
* at worst case you can drop to execParams which is faster (and
better) than PQexec, at least
* if problem is plan related, you can always disable certain plan
types (seqscan), prepare, and re-enable those plan types
* do as Jonah suggested, first step is to try and reproduce problem from psql
