Hi Tom,
yes I re-run vacuum analyze every time I muck about with the tables/ indexes.
The output of explain analyze is this:

Sort  (cost=1660930.18..1660946.63 rows=6581 width=568) (actual 
time=545668.58..545675.05 rows=1537 loops=1)  Sort Key: max(m.date_created)  ->  Aggregate  (cost=0.00..1659452.99 rows=6581 width=568) (actual 
time=614.83..544598.17 rows=1537 loops=1)        ->  Group  (cost=0.00..1659123.95 rows=65807 width=568) (actual 
time=539.87..543988.21 rows=1537 loops=1)              ->  Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..1657643.30 rows=65807 width=568)

loops=1)                          Filter: ((forum_id = 1::double precision) AND 
(barchived = 0) AND (bsticky = 0))                    ->  Seq Scan on fbof_msg m  (cost=0.00..949.63 rows=8563 
width=20) (actual time=0.08.. 294.28 rows=8563 loops=1537)Total runtime: 545763.83 msec
(10 rows)

any input at all would be great.
cheers,
Toby
