OK, the sample query is attached (hopefully attachments are allowed) as

The "master table" definition is attached as "table1.sql".
The "detail table" definition is attached as "table2.sql".
The EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) output is here:

Let me know if I can provide anything else, and thank you again.
