Is it the right-hand input of a merge join? If so you're looking at
mark/restore rescans, ie, repeated fetches of the same tuples. There
must be a huge number of duplicate join keys in that relation to make
for such an increase though. Normally the planner avoids putting a
table with lots of duplicates as the RHS of a merge, but if it doesn't
have good statistics for the join key then it might not realize the
problem.
