Have you run ANALYZE or VACUUM ANALYZE in both databases to update
the planner's statistics? If you have and get the same results,
then it might be interesting to see the output of the following on
both systems:
SET enable_mergejoin TO off;
SET enable_nestloop TO on;
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ...
SET enable_mergejoin TO on;
SET enable_nestloop TO off;
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ...
