The only ways I can think of are through a subquery (*) or possibly there
might be a way to do it with EXCEPT, but on first blush that seems like it
might be difficult and probably not any better speed wise.
(*) - You were using IN (subquery) which is known to be poorly optimized
for 7.3 and earlier. You might want to see how it performs on your data
under 7.4beta for forward looking, and/or consider converting into a form
using EXISTS rather than IN.
