Did the active (frequently referenced) portion of the database go
from something which fit in cache to something which didn't? Did
any hash table or sort nodes in plans go from fitting in work_mem
to spilling to disk? Did any indexes need an extra level in the
tree? Did any plans change based on size to something which is less
than optimal, suggesting a need to tune the cost factors?
