Huh, right... missed that one. Here is the 'explain analyze' from the
other server:



QUERY PLAN


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Limit  (cost=31531.75..31531.80 rows=21 width=275) (actual
time=45.584..45.584 rows=0 loops=1)
   ->  Sort  (cost=31531.75..31531.84 rows=36 width=275) (actual

               Hash Cond: (tubesite_object.id =
tubesite_image.object_ptr_id)

This is also a query from the prod server, but without LIMIT:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Sort  (cost=31713.95..31735.42 rows=8588 width=275) (actual
time=60.311..60.311 rows=0 loops=1)

   Sort Method:  quicksort  Memory: 25kB
   ->  Hash Join  (cost=857.00..31152.80 rows=8588 width=275) (actual
time=60.255..60.255 rows=0 loops=1)
         Hash Cond: (tubesite_object.id = tubesite_image.object_ptr_id)
         ->  Bitmap Heap Scan on tubesite_object  (cost=596.77..30685.30
rows=9711 width=271) (actual time=8.682..49.721 rows=9905 loops=1)
               Recheck Cond: (site_id = 8)
               ->  Bitmap Index Scan on tubesite_object_site_id
(cost=0.00..594.34 rows=9711 width=0) (actual time=5.705..5.705

                     Index Cond: (site_id = 8)
         ->  Hash  (cost=152.88..152.88 rows=8588 width=4) (actual
time=4.281..4.281 rows=8588 loops=1)
               ->  Seq Scan on tubesite_image  (cost=0.00..152.88
rows=8588 width=4) (actual time=0.005..1.437 rows=8588 loops=1)

(12 rows)


I will try to rsync prod database to 8.4.8 on test server tomorrow, and
see what happens. Hopefully upgrade to 8.4.9 (or even 8.4.10 if Debian
packages is by tomorrow) will solve the issue...
