According to the documentation the default cost is 1 for builin functions and 100 for others, is this true for the ts-stuff also? Can I query the database for the cost of the functions? It somehow seems natural that comparing a 1,3 term tsquery to a 200+ term tsvector is orders of magitude more expensive than simple operations. I somehow suspect that this is a bad thing to do if I have other gin-indexes where the tsvector is much smaller in the same database. But then I can just use ts_match_qv for those queries or add my own which justy raises the cost.
