Re: Slow Query

Is there no index on thread.spool? What about notification.user? How about
message.time (without thread as a leading column). Those would all seem
very significant. Your row counts are very low to have a query perform so
badly. Work_mem could probably be increased above 4MB, but it isn't hurting
this query in particular.

My primary concern is that the query is rather chaotic at a glance. It
would be great to re-write and remove the unneeded keywords, double quotes,
totally worthless parentheses, etc. Something like the below may help you
see the crux of the query and what could be done and understand how many
rows might be coming out of those subqueries. I re-ordered some joins and
there might be syntax errors, but give it a shot once you've added the
indexes suggested above.
