Hmm, possibly because it's reducing the number of calls to get_actual_variable_range. Do you have an indexed column, with a lot of recently-dead entries at the end of its range, that is a join key in the slow query? If so, you might be hitting the problem that was fixed (not for 9.6) here: https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=3ca930fc3 regards, tom lane
