That is a sign of a bad design. Any value that can change should only
occur once in the database.
200000 rows is not a lot; you should stick with international measures

The problem is clear. Rather than changing all rows with a single UPDATE
statement, you perform one UPDATE per row.

You could use pg_stat_statements with pg_stat_statements.track = all
or use PL Profiler: https://bitbucket.org/openscg/plprofiler
