Subject: Performance w/ multiple WHERE clauses

I am running into a serious performance issue with some basic queries.

If I run something like

   select * from "Calls" WHERE
                ( ("CallType" = 'LONG DIST' ))

The search takes about 15 seconds

if I run
    select * from "Calls" WHERE
        ( ( "DateOfCall"='06/19/02') )
        AND ( ( "CallType" = 'LONG DIST' ))
   [DateOfCall is a DateTime field]

it takes 15 minutes!

both columns are indexed individually and expalain reports and Index scan for both
queries.

Any pointers where to look next?

Running pg 7.2 on RH

Thanks,
-Aaron Held
