Sorry, i forgot to add the following:
Explain / Analyze for the last "update type on B" call, normally there the table has million of rows but i removed most of them since otherwise it would not finish sometime soon:
('Update on B (cost=0.00..71.50 rows=1000 width=244) (actual time=18.015..18.015 rows=0 loops=1)',)(' Buffers: shared hit=26141 read=21 dirtied=77 written=54',)(' -> Seq Scan on B (cost=0.00..71.50 rows=1000 width=244) (actual time=0.102..0.536 rows=1000 loops=1)',)(' Filter: ((type IS NULL) AND (firmid = 1))',)(' Buffers: shared hit=59',)('Planning Time: 0.430 ms',)# ('Trigger for constraint B_firmid_fkey: time=25.592 calls=1000',)# ('Trigger for constraint B_type_fkey: time=14.899 calls=1000',)# ('Trigger for constraint B_userid_fkey: time=16.146 calls=1000',)# ('Trigger for constraint B_version_fkey: time=11.285 calls=1000',)# ('Trigger for constraint B_common_fkey: time=7.913 calls=1000',)# ('Trigger for constraint B_shiftinstanceid_fkey: time=8543.369 calls=1000',)('Trigger for constraint B_to_A_fkey: time=27246.413 calls=1000',)('Execution Time: 35884.978 ms',)
The tables have Index on each other. The vacuum can not be called, since all those table modifications are part of one big transaction to be able to make a rollback on any problem without causing an abnormal data state regarding the program.

Subject: Re: Performance issues on FK Triggers after replacing a primary column
The table structure looks (roughly) like this:
- Table "Base": (id, created, deleted, origin, ...) ~3m rows
- Table "A": (id as FK on "Base", ...) ~400k rows
- Table "B": (id, ref_a as FK on "A", type, ...) ~2m rows
Swapping the PK of "A" happens as following, the FK is dropped during the process since otherwise the performance issues also happen here when updating the PK. The update calls do normally utilize a file based import into a temporary table from which i do the actual update:
ALTER TABLE "B" DROP CONSTRAINT "B_to_A_fkey";
ALTER TABLE "A" ADD COLUMN id_temp BIGINT;
// fill id_temp with new IDs
UPDATE "B" SET ref_a = "A".id_temp WHERE "B".ref_a= "A".id;
UPDATE "A" SET id = id_temp;
ALTER TABLE "B" ADD CONSTRAINT "B_to_A_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (ref_a) REFERENCES A(id);
And then the new occuring step, in the same transaction, which then also has shown the performance issues described if i would not remove the FK temporarily:
ALTER TABLE "B" DROP CONSTRAINT "B_to_A_fkey";
UPDATE "B" SET type = 2 WHERE type ISNULL;
ALTER TABLE "B" ADD CONSTRAINT "B_to_A_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (ref_a) REFERENCES A(id);

Post the query and the explain.
Also have you run vacuum and/or analyze on the tables involved?
