performance question (something to do w/ parameterized stmts?, wrong index types?)

Why does this query take so long?  (PostgreSQL 8.0.3, FC4)
Hopefully I have provided enough information below.

Here is the table description:

  c      | integer | not null

  n      | integer | not null

     "testindex2" btree (f, c)


There are only 2,369 records in the X table.

I don't understand why this query should take 10 seconds in the executor
phase, with so little data being managed, and all relevant data already
in memory.  Any clues?

Maybe there are more database server debugging options I should have
tweaked, but I'm not sure what.  The stuff I turned on included:

log_duration = true
log_statement = 'all'
log_parser_stats = true
log_planner_stats = true
log_executor_stats = true

   (N.B. log_statement_stats = true caused the server startup failure
every time with no error message I could find, so was not deliberately set)

stats_start_collector = true
stats_command_string = true
stats_block_level = true
stats_row_level = true
stats_reset_on_server_start = true



(FYI: 10 secs is a lot only because this query is executed many times in
my application, and they're pretty much all bad, and the aggregate query
times are killing my app response).

Thanks for any tips!
