1) It's rather difficult to read the query plan as it's mangled by your
e-mail client. I recommend to check how to prevent the client from doing
that, or attaching the plan as a file.

2) The whole query takes ~3500ms, and the seqscan only accounts for
~200ms, so it's very clearly not the main issue.

3) Most of the time is spent in sort, so the one thing you can do is
either increasing work_mem, or adding index providing that ordering.
Even better if you include all necessary columns to allow IOS.
