Just wanted to be sure there was nothing obvious in terms of settings we might have missed.

The numerous joins support those filters and a good number of those joins are one-to-many tables causing a Cartesian product. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
