But, having different sets of indexes, you can't compare execution plans. In regards to statistics, you could try to ANALYZE table manually, may be increasing "default_statistics_target". >From the docs: "default_statistics_target (integer) Sets the default statistics target for table columns that have not had a column-specific target set via ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS. Larger values increase the time needed to do ANALYZE, but might improve the quality of the planner's estimates. The default is 10. For more information on the use of statistics by the PostgreSQL query planner, refer to Section 14.2."
