I expanded work_mem to 256 Mb and created index on table

create index xxx on system_alarm (id_camera, date, time) where confirmed =
'false' and dismissed = 'false';

the processor load now executing the query is max. 70%

the query execution with and without order is:

istra_system=> EXPLAIN ANALYSE  SELECT * FROM system_alarm WHERE
id_camera='3' AND confirmed='false' AND dismissed='false' ;

 Seq Scan on system_alarm  (cost=0.00..24468.33 rows=735284 width=47)
(actual time=90.792..1021.967 rows=724846 loops=1)
   Filter: ((id_camera = 3) AND (NOT confirmed) AND (NOT dismissed))
 Total runtime: 1259.426 ms
(3 rows)

istra_system=> EXPLAIN ANALYSE  SELECT * FROM system_alarm WHERE
id_camera='3' AND confirmed='false' AND dismissed='false' ORDER BY date
DESC, time ;

 Sort  (cost=96114.18..97952.39 rows=735284 width=47) (actual
time=2303.547..2602.116 rows=724846 loops=1)
   Sort Key: date, "time"
   ->  Seq Scan on system_alarm  (cost=0.00..24468.33 rows=735284
width=47) (actual time=100.322..1115.837 rows=724846 loops=1)
         Filter: ((id_camera = 3) AND (NOT confirmed) AND (NOT dismissed))
 Total runtime: 2916.557 ms
(5 rows)

I think this is OK.
Thanx
