Oddity with view

Why is this view 9x slower than the base table?

cnuapp_prod@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx=# explain analyze select count(*) from loan_tasks_committed; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate (cost=994625.69..994625.70 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=7432.306..7432.306 rows=1 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on loan_tasks_committed (cost=0.00..929345.35 rows=26112135 width=0) (actual time=0.012..5116.776 rows=26115689 loops=1)

loan_tasks effectively does SELECT * FROM loan_tasks_committed UNION ALL SELECT * FROM loan_tasks_pending;. There's some lookup tables for _pending, but as this explain shows there's no actual data there right now.

cnuapp_prod@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx=# explain analyze select count(*) from loan_tasks; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Aggregate (cost=1516929.75..1516929.76 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=60396.081..60396.082 rows=1 loops=1) -> Append (cost=0.00..1190523.94 rows=26112465 width=240) (actual time=0.023..57902.470 rows=26115689 loops=1) -> Subquery Scan "*SELECT* 1" (cost=0.00..1190466.70 rows=26112135 width=162) (actual time=0.023..54776.335 rows=26115689 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on loan_tasks_committed (cost=0.00..929345.35 rows=26112135 width=162) (actual time=0.014..22531.902 rows=26115689 loops=1) -> Subquery Scan "*SELECT* 2" (cost=36.10..57.24 rows=330 width=240) (actual time=0.003..0.003 rows=0 loops=1) -> Hash Join (cost=36.10..53.94 rows=330 width=240) (actual time=0.002..0.002 rows=0 loops=1)

SELECT true AS "committed", loan_tasks_committed.id, ..., loan_tasks_committed.task_amount
   FROM loan_tasks_committed
UNION ALL
SELECT false AS "committed", ltp.id, ..., NULL::"unknown" AS task_amount
   FROM loan_tasks_pending ltp
   JOIN loan_task_codes ltc ON ltp.loan_task_code_id = ltc.id;

The stuff I omitted is just some fields and a few other NULLs. This is 8.2.9.
