Slow SQL?

I am trying to move a small system from Oracle to PostgreSQL and I have come upon a sql that runs really slow compared to on the Oracle database and
I am not able to interpret why this is slow.

The SQL looks like this:

Select a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr,
date_part('day',(now() - s.dato)) dato_diff, v.tekst, COALESCE(a.avlsverdi,0)
From sed_uttak s, sem_avlsverdi a, semin_vare v
where a.aktiv = 1
And s.dato = (Select Max(y.dato)
From sed_uttak y
Where y.avlsnr = s.avlsnr)
And a.avlsnr = s.avlsnr
And s.sedtype = v.tallkode
And a.avlsnr Not In (Select avlsnr
From dyr_pause_mot)
Union
Select a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr,
date_part('day',(now() - s.dato)) dato_diff, 'Tappe pause', COALESCE(a.avlsverdi,0)
From sed_uttak s, sem_avlsverdi a, dyr_pause_mot p
Where s.dato = (Select Max(x.dato)
From sed_uttak x
Where x.avlsnr = s.avlsnr)
And a.avlsnr = s.avlsnr
And a.avlsnr = p.avlsnr
Union
Select a.status, a.plass, a.navn, a.avlsnr, null dato_diff, 'IKKE TAPPET', COALESCE(a.avlsverdi,0)
From sem_avlsverdi a
Where a.aktiv = 1
And a.avlsnr Not In (Select avlsnr From sed_uttak)
And a.avlsnr Not In (Select avlsnr From dyr_pause_mot)

And the explain result looks like this:

HashAggregate (cost=7288068.92..7288092.10 rows=2318 width=36) (actual time=10740.366..10741.879 rows=6475 loops=1)

Appreciate any pointers on where to look... :)
