Index creation takes for ever

Hi every one,

I've tried to reindex one of my customer's table to gain some disk space.

I had to stop after 90 m cpu...

I've then pg_dump'ed the database and recreate an other both on 7.3.4 and
7.4b

Both are still running after more than 30 minutes of CPU (100% cpu taken)
creating the levt_lu_ligne_evt_key.

Disks don't do anything, just cpu.

Here are the info I have
test=# \d ligneevt
Table "public.ligne_evt"
Column | Type | Modifiers

-----------------+--------------------------+-----------------------------------
-------------
levt_cod | integer | not null default nextval('seq_levt
_cod'::text)
levt_tevt_cod | integer | not null
levt_date | timestamp with time zone | not null
levt_type_per1 | integer | not null
levt_perso_cod1 | integer | not null
levt_type_per2 | integer |
levt_perso_cod2 | integer |
levt_texte | text |
levt_lu | character varying(2) | default 'N'

test=# SELECT levt_lu,count(*) from ligne_evt group by levt_lu;

Can some one help me?
