Try analyzing just the one column, and try reducing its stats target to
10. It does make a difference:
sorttest=# set default_statistics_target TO 100;
SET
Time: 0.382 ms
sorttest=# analyze verbose d10;
INFO: analyzing "public.d10"
INFO: "d10": scanned 30000 of 833334 pages, containing 3600000 live rows and 0 dead rows; 30000 rows in sample,
