Improving performance on system catalog

Hi all.

I would like to speed up this query:

EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT
relid,schemaname,relname,seq_scan,seq_tup_read,idx_scan,idx_tup_fetch,n_tup_ins,n_tup_upd,n_tup_del
FROM pg_stat_user_tables;

QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquery Scan pg_stat_all_tables (cost=747.72..791.10 rows=195 width=236)
(actual time=11.582..13.632 rows=200 loops=1)
-> HashAggregate (cost=747.72..752.10 rows=195 width=136) (actual time=
11.571..12.813 rows=200 loops=1)
-> Hash Join (cost=209.32..745.28 rows=195 width=136) (actual
time=1.780..6.477 rows=453 loops=1)
Hash Cond: ("outer".relnamespace = "inner".oid)
-> Hash Left Join (cost=206.87..702.69 rows=227 width=76)
(actual time=1.729..5.392 rows=507 loops=1)
Hash Cond: ("outer".oid = "inner".indrelid)
-> Seq Scan on pg_class c (cost=0.00..465.22 rows=227
width=72) (actual time=0.013..2.552 rows=228 loops=1)
Filter: (relkind = 'r'::"char")
-> Hash (cost=205.40..205.40 rows=587 width=8)
(actual time=1.698..1.698 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on pg_index i
(cost=0.00..205.40rows=587 width=8) (actual time=
0.004..1.182 rows=593 loops=1)
-> Hash (cost=2.44..2.44 rows=6 width=68) (actual time=
0.035..0.035 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on pg_namespace n (cost=0.00..2.44 rows=6
width=68) (actual time=0.013..0.028 rows=6 loops=1)
Filter: ((nspname <> 'pg_catalog'::name) AND
(nspname <> 'pg_toast'::name))
Total runtime: 13.844 ms

I think there would be good to create an index on pg_class.relkind and
pg_class.relnamespace, but its impossible since its a catalog table.

Any way to make it a default index (system index)?

Its an old PostgreSQL server:

SELECT version();
version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.4.13 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC
x86_64-redhat-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-2)
