They are way too small, but I don't think that explains the index
creation time.
Effective_cache_size is only used by the planner, and this problem is
not caused by a poorly chosen plan.
It's important to set shared_buffers higher as well, but he has so much
RAM compared with his dataset that he's certainly not going to disk. I
don't think this explains it either.
I think it's just the result of building a lot of indexes on localized
text using only one core at a time.
