Thanks for joining the discussion. I'm only reluctant to do an ANALYZE as part of a perdiodical (hourly) "check table contents" function. Such an ANALYZE command is already included in the perdiodical (nightly) update script which mirrors OpenStreetMap data. BTW: I've asked before for best parameters over at pgsql-performance ("How to configure a read-only database server?" 19. April 2011) and I am still happy about any hint.
