I created a database with 250 schemas, containing 25 tables each, with
41 columns per table, and the query took ~280 seconds.

The optimised version below (thanks to Greg Stark for spending some
time on this) runs in ~300ms. Suffice it to say, I committed the
change!

SELECT format_type(t.oid,NULL) AS typname,      CASE WHEN typelem > 0 THEN typelem ELSE t.oid END as elemoid,
typlen,typtype, t.oid, nspname,      (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM pg_type t2 WHERE t2.typname = t.typname) 
> 1 AS isdup
 FROM pg_type t JOIN pg_namespace nsp ON typnamespace=nsp.oid
WHERE (NOT (typname = 'unknown' AND nspname = 'pg_catalog'))  AND typisdefined  AND typtype IN ('b', 'c', 'd', 'e')
AND   NOT EXISTS (select 1 from pg_class where 
relnamespace=typnamespace and relname = typname and relkind != 'c')  AND (typname not like '_%'      OR NOT EXISTS
(select1 from pg_class where 
relnamespace=typnamespace and relname = substring(typname from
2)::name and relkind != 'c'))  AND nsp.nspname != 'information_schema'ORDER BY typtype != 'd', t.typelem>0, 1
