Acceptable level of over-estimation?

["Carlo Stonebanks" <stonec.register@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a rule of thumb about when the planner's row estimates are too 
high? In particular, when should I be concerned that planner's estimated 
number of rows estimated for a nested loop is off? By a factor of 10? 100? 
1000?
