I think the problem is you're constraining the join order into a very
inefficient one.  See

http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/explicit-joins.html

But it's difficult to be sure, when you are showing us EXPLAIN output
that manifestly doesn't correspond to what you say the queries are.
For instance the nearest match to "epr_vord_grupo AS grupo" in the
explain output is "epr_ord_grupo g" ... I'm also wondering if any of
the tables used in the queries are really views, and if so what the
view definitions are.
