I have adjusted some settings in the postgresql.conf
file:
7.4.14
  shared_buffers=64000 #512MB
  sort_mem=32000       #32KB
  effective_cache_size=128000 #1GB
8.2.0
  shared_buffers=512MB
  temp_buffers=32MB
  work_mem=8MB
  effective_cache_size=1GB
  random_page_cost=2.0

And also disabled some planner options in 8.2
  enable_bitscanmap = off
  enable_hashjoin = off

NB: enable_seqscan = on (default value)

First i have some queries to give you a feel of size
of
datasets and plans and times. 

Q-A: (Simple query A)
 select sr.id from step_result_subset as sr
  where sr.step_parent = 0;
Q-B: (Simple query B)
 select ur.id from uut_result_subset as ur
  where ur.start_date_time > '2006-12-11'; 
Q-C: (Simple query C)
 select ur.id from uut_result_subset as ur
  where ur.start_date_time > '2006-12-11';

Here is the complex query/view.
create view view_subset as 
select
  ur.id as ur_id,
  sr.id as sr_id
from
  uut_result_subset as ur
   inner join step_result_subset as sr
    on ur.id=sr.uut_result
where
  ur.start_date_time > '2006-12-11'
  and sr.step_parent=0
;

I also wanted to try it with a bigger dataset so i 
set the restriction of start_date_time to
"start_date_time> '2006-09-11'"
I also then set "enable_hashjoin = on" to get same
plans on 7.4.14 and 8.2.0.

Other comments.
I am _beginning_ to get a feeling of adjusting
parameters and how my dataset behaves. 8.2.0 does (as
expected) work much better on bigger datasets than
7.4.14.
I was still hoping that i could get better response 
times since i think the Q-C query 
(ur.start_date_time > '2006-09-11') should be the
biggest restrictor of the datasets i want to look at.
