My first comment is that bitmap IOS is supported on PG11, which was released..yesterday: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/static/release-11.html |Allow bitmap scans to perform index-only scans when possible (Alexander Kuzmenkov) Also, I wonder whether parallel query is helping here or hurting (SET max_parallel_workers_per_gather=0)? If it's hurting, should you adjust cost parameters or perhaps disable it globally ? Justin
