Is there any way I can get postgres to perform the hash calculations on the *result* of the other parts of the where clause, instead of the other way around? Or else rewrite the query?
The planner doesn't know that the crypt function is expensive. That can be fixed with "ALTER FUNCTION crypt(text, text) COST <high value>". Even with that, I'm not sure if the planner is smart enough to optimize the query the way you'd want, but it's worth a try.
