That is very interesting indeed, these indexes are quite large!

I will apply that patch and try it out this evening and let you know.

Thank you very much everyone for your time, the support has been amazing.

PS: Just looked at this thread on the archives page and realised I don't
have my name in FROM: field, which is a misconfiguration of my email client,
but figured I would leave it to prevent confusion, sorry about that.

All the best,

Philip Scott

Hm.  To tell you the truth, in October I'd completely forgotten about the
January patch, and was thinking that the 1/10000 cost had a lot of history
behind it.  But if we never shipped it before 9.2 then of course that idea
is false.  Perhaps we should backpatch the log curve into 9.2 --- that would
reduce the amount of differential between what
9.2 does and what previous branches do for large indexes.

It would definitely be interesting to know if applying bf01e34b556 helps the
OP's example.

            regards, tom lane
