Yeah, it sure is the same plan, and 8.2 seems to be a tad faster right up to the hash join on user_id. Is user_id a textual datatype? I'm wondering if the 8.2 installation is using a different locale --- the speed of simple string comparisons can be horrifically worse in some locales compared to others.
user_id is an int; they are both C locale.
