Running an ANALYZE really change the plan, now it is fast as before (8.0). On the production system a VACUUM FULL ANALYZE is run every morning after a clean-up, when the "registrazioni" table is empty. During the day this table fills up (about 500 record any day), and apparently the performances are free-falling very quickly. This behaviour has not changed between the old and the new installation. Can you suggest an easy way to collect and keep up-to-date these statistics in a very low-impact way?
Why not just periodically (once an hour?) run "ANALYZE registrazioni;" during the day. This will only update the statistics, and should be very low impact.
HTH, Joe
