Badly written the query may be, but I do have the opportunity to change it.
Part of the problem is that I cannot come up with a better way of writing
it.

What about the discrepancy between the estimated row count and the actual
row count for that index access?
"Bitmap Index Scan on slog_gri_idx  (cost=0.00..82.26 rows=2870 width=0)
(actual time=41.306..41.306 rows=83538 loops=1)"

Is there anything I can do to influence that (not that it is likely to
change the plan, but...). I vacuumed and analyzed after I created the index,
so the stats should be at least be close (with stats target set to 1000
there).
