And some more numbers, directly after a vacuum and analyze:

mail=# explain analyze select * from often_updated where id between
'-10000' and '100000';
Index Scan using barnet_users_id on often_updated (cost=0.00..3095.66
rows=750 width=205) (actual time=0.15..41.04 rows=750 loops=1)
Total runtime: 44.81 msec

mail=# explain analyze select * from often_updated;
Seq Scan on often_updated (cost=0.00..49273.50 rows=750 width=205) (actual
time=1.93..1710.01 rows=750 loops=1)
Total runtime: 1714.32 msec

The latter time is actually quote good; when the machine is more heavily
loaded it goes up to 10000ms.

We currently vacuum/analyze daily, and analyze hourly.
