You mean one specific example is running faster. If you do that you'll
probably slow down other queries.
It looks like the main estimation error is here:

Why does it think that only 159 of the 132245 rows in outages will have
join partners in ipinterface? The actual results look like they all do.
It might be worth looking at the pg_stats rows for the join columns to
see if there's something odd about the statistics.
