Hi Kido,
Create indece in the fields that you use to compare the JOIN

> attr4 integer,
> attr5 character varying(50),
> attr6 character varying(50),
> attr7 character varying(50),
> attr8 character varying(50),
> attr9 character varying(50),
> attr10 character varying(50)
> )
>
> Over 3 months the table has grown to 600+ Millions Rows,

> We mainly do inserts, we almost never do updates or delete.
