EXPLAIN ANALYZE gives these > numbers: Were the settings different on old and new PostgreSQL versions? Do you have a query plan with the old version? Are the join columns indexed on both sides? Usually the planner prefers nested loops and merge joins with low work_mem, if the join columns are indexed. Increasing effective_cache_size and reducing random_page_cost to match your hardware may lead the planner to make better choices.
