Ok, I tried the query on two boxes:
#1 800Mhz duron IDE drives - 11 secs
#2 800Mhz P3 SCSI drives - 5.35 secs
NOTE: the P3 has alot larger buffers and stuff....(more mem..:))

What does the function plpgsql_call_handler do?
Could this be where the slow down is?

If it is minor, then how are your buffers and shared mem set?

I am by NO means an expert, but I'm quite willing to help if I can.
