When looking up statistics histogram bounds and MCV slots cannot be checked. Only ndistinct is used. If you have a skewed dataset, then this might not be very good. You might find things run better if you adjust postgresql.conf and set plan_cache_mode = force_custom_plan then select pg_reload_conf(); Please also check the documentation so that you understand the full implications for that.
