We're still considering this architecture - so I don't have any plans.
My question is, does the ANALYZE command, which is only executed on the master, mean that the statistics / plans that are used on the master are ALSO used on the slaves? OR .... does the slave create it's own plan?
I would anticipate very different plans between the two machines, and different postgresql.conf settings as well.
I would *want* different query plans between the two. Is that possible?

Can you show us the explain analyze result on both master and slave?

ANALYZE can only be executed on master. Slave creates its own
plan. However since statistics should be same as master, I guess if
you get different plan, then postgresql.conf maybe different among
master and slave.
