How many months are you storing? i.e. how large is the
entire table?

Not sure what you mean by "running it from the hard disk",
versus "connecting nodes". If you mean that the query takes
longer when executed by clients on a LAN, sounds like a
network problem.

If not, then you need to provide a LOT more information. As is,
we can't help you. Have you VACUUM ANALYZE'd the tables in
question? How much data (# of rows) is involved? What queries
are being executed? What does EXPLAIN show for these queries?
What is the definition of the tables involved, as well as
any applicable indexes? Under what exact circumstances does
the performance problem occur?

Cheers,

Neil
