2 questions:

1) Different costs for same actions. Doing an explain on 2 nearly identical queries both involving the same Index scan on same table has 2 widely different costs for same Index scan  303375872.86 vs. 12576.70

2) Simple query using NOT IN (subquery)was killed after 2 hrs, using the same query (query) except (query) ran in < 2 sec.

Summary:

On devel box (Unix PG version 8.3.5) with no other database activity or system activity after immediately completing a vacuum analyze.

The original query (below) was running for over 2 hrs and was killed.: 

select distinct ciknum into tmpnocikinowner from cik where ciknum not in (select cik from owner_cik_master);

est total cost: 303375872.86, for Index Scan: 303375616.75

Simple query broken down: explain select distinct ciknum into tmpnocikinowner from cik ;

est total cost: 12576.70, for Index Scan: 12064.49

and

select cik from owner_cik_master

est total cost: 2587.36, for Index Scan: N/A

Actual time, the query was killed after 2hrs,

However, we ran:

select distinct ciknum into tmpnocikinowner from cik ; - actual time 861.487 ms
 (select ciknum from tmpnocikinowner)  except (select cik from owner_cik_master);  - actual time 1328.094 ms
