Why not just periodically (once an hour?) run "ANALYZE registrazioni;"

This is my "solution" too... but: is enough? Or else: there is a better
way to do this? If the performance in the better case is 50 times faster
than the worse case, during an hour (50/100 record inserted in
"registrazioni") how much the performance can fall before the new
"ANALYZE" is run? Otherwise, running ANALYZE more frequently can badly
affect the overall performance?
One thing I noticed is that in both plans there is a seq scan on
registrazioni. Given that performance degrades so quickly as records are
inserted into registrazioni, I'm wondering if you're missing an index.
What indexes do you have on registrazioni?
