Try:
- Adding a partial index on makeid, eg:
CREATE INDEX userstats_makeid_where_tagged_idx
ON userstats (makeid) WHERE (tagged);
- Instead of repeating the query 6000 times in a loop, collect the data
in one pass by joining against a temp table containing the makeids of
interest.
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT u.uid) AS active_users
FROM pixelpool.userstats u
INNER JOIN temp_makeids m ON (u.makeid = m.makeid)
WHERE u.tagged = true;
(If the 6000 repeats are really a correlated subquery part of a bigger
query you still haven't shown, then you might be able to avoid 6000
individual passes by adjusting your outer query instead).
