I will get that and post it.

NEW NEWS... turning off "enable_seqscan" made the query run in about .25
seconds!!!

Now we're re-evaluating effective_cache_size

Do you have the equivalent for the old installation?

This join is what's killing you, and even more specifically the factor
of 4800 misestimate of the size of the hashjoin result.  It wouldn't
have tried a nestloop if the rowcount estimate had been even a little
bit closer to reality.  The misestimate seems to be mostly due to this
lower join:

>                      ->  Hash Join  (cost=3642.33..3659.85 rows=2
width=48) (actual time=559.069..581.084 rows=4816 loops=1)
>                            Hash Cond: ("outer".recordnumber =
"inner".recordnumber)
>                            ->  Function Scan on aaaaresults
(cost=0.00..12.50 rows=1000 width=36) (actual time=271.933..277.842
rows=4817 loops=1)
>                            ->  Hash  (cost=3642.05..3642.05 rows=114
width=12) (actual time=287.113..287.113 rows=4918 loops=1)

I suppose this is not actually the same function that you are obscuring
in the other case?  Anyway this seems a bit strange, because with no
stats on the functionscan result, I'd have expected a more conservative
(larger) estimate for the size of the join result.  Can you show us the
pg_stats row for the column you've labeled inner.recordnumber here?
