You need indexes on ann_startnode_id and ann_endnode_id. There might be
some other missing indexes too --- check each of your foreign key
constraints.

Postgres doesn't force you to keep an index on the referencing side of a
foreign key ... but if you want deletes from the master table to be
fast, you'd better have one.
