It would be interesting to see EXPLAIN ANALYZE results in both cases, plus the contents of the relevant pg_stats rows.

Also we'd want to know exactly what PG version this is, and on what sort of platform.
Thanks for replying. I've got a message into to my team asking if I need to de-identify some of the table names before I go submitting output to a public mailing list.
In the meantime, again I'm new to this -- I got pg_stats; which rows are the relevent ones?
Also, I am running postgresql-server-7.4.9 from FreeBSD port (with optimized CFLAGS turned on during compiling)
