name | setting | boot_val
------------------------------+---------+----------
cpu_index_tuple_cost | 0.09 | 0.005 <- 18x boot val, 9x
cpu_tuple_cost
cpu_operator_cost | 0.0025 | 0.0025
cpu_tuple_cost | 0.01 | 0.01
In the end I'm back to the big hammer.
I found that larger cities (e.g., more results from the city index)
required a larger cpu_index_tuple_cost to prevent the BitmapAnd.
Now cpu_index_tuple_cost is set to 0.09, which is 18x its boot_val and
9x cpu_tuple_cost... which seems strange.
Logically, should I be changing cpu_operator_cost instead?
