This is likely not a bug in beta3 as such; what has probably happened is
that the query planner is choosing a different query plan in beta3 than
was chosen in beta2. Without more information, it is difficult to say
exactly why a different plan is being chosen. Have you run ANALYZE
recently? If so, can you provide the schemas of the relevant tables, the
query that has changed in performance, and the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output
for that query against beta3?
