Okay, understood

Here is the explain plan for the query. Actual rows that the query
returns is 6369

SLOW

This is for this SQL
  SELECT COUNT(distinct uid )  AS active_users FROM
pixelpool.userstats    WHERE makeid =
'gmps-armen-chevy' and tagged=true

Explain
"Aggregate  (cost=118883.96..118883.97 rows=1 width=8)"
"  ->  Bitmap Heap Scan on userstats  (cost=797.69..118850.46
rows=13399 width=8)"
"        Recheck Cond: (makeid = 'gmps-armen-chevy'::text)"
"        Filter: tagged"
"        ->  Bitmap Index Scan on idx_retargetuserstats_makeid
(cost=0.00..794.34 rows=33276 width=0)"
"              Index Cond: (makeid = 'gmps-armen-chevy'::text)"


Explain Analyze
"Aggregate  (cost=118883.96..118883.97 rows=1 width=8) (actual
time=31219.376..31219.376 rows=1 loops=1)"

FAST

"Explain

THEN  a.uid END)
"AS active_users,
"COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN tagged=false THEN a.uid END) as unassociated

"WHERE makeid ='gmps-oden'  GROUP BY a.makeid
