Uh, I thought the actual number reported by EXPLAIN ANALYZE includes
parse/plan times, but now that you mention it, if it is timing things
inside the executor, it might be just executor times.
Looking at explain.c, it is only timing the executor part in
ExplainOnePlan(). The planner() call is outside that loop, so it must
be parse/plan, though that seems like a lot of time spent in that area.
